i5 4690k Overclocking

[DerekHarris]

So I just used Asus' Ez Overclocking to see what it would put my chip to and the voltage was 1.075 at 4.5Ghz at 30c.  That voltage seems really low at this speed does it not?   I know the average suggested max voltage is around 1.3, should I see how far I can really push it?

That's it's adaptive idle voltage, it will go up when under load.

Ah okay, that makes much more sense.  Thanks.

Yes^, and make sure it didn't set the voltage to high. I always say to do a manual oc.

I belive Asus sets the max at 1.275 if I remember correctly.
