no, you really dont need to OC, but its free performance, so why not?

A 4790k is more then enough at 4.7GHz, I would try to bump it up to 4.8 or 4.9, You should be able to hit it fairly easy. 1.26 volts is nothing, I got some 1.365 volts running through mine with 4.9. my CPU is horrible with voltage

i no its free performance but do i need it if games are not maxing my cpu ?
or will i need to oc for sli ?

Nope, unless you render video and want to shave a minute off your 2 hour long render.

well if it's good temps at 1.26 it shouldn't really matter anyway, it's free performance. 

[jjohnthedon1]

Temps are 65 max at 4.7 but at stock max temp is 45 degrees

Also I only seem to be able to oc via turbo multiplier is that ok to do ?

[jjohnthedon1]

Ie all multipliers set to 47

all you will ever NEED is 4.6, unless you run flight sim 10, then you NEED 10 billion ghz.

set it to 4.6 and enjoy the fact you got a good one.
