Intel Core i5 4690k Overclocking

Go to solution Solved by Coaxialgamer,

Ive got an i5 4690k with an Corsair H105 installed, i got the 4690k running at 4.3 Ghz with a v core of 1.200 and im getting pretty stable and good results with it, especially the temperature isnt to high under full load the hottest core is at ca 60 degrees and its running very stable. My question would be if i could go any higher without pushing my Cpu to hard obviously temperature isnt a problem but im a little bit afraid of breaking anything i never overclocked anything in my system except my 4690k some time before. 

 

So do i have to change anything else than the multiplier and the v core and when i would want to go to 4.5 Ghz what v core should i dial in ?

 

Thx for youre help!

the recommended voltage limit for haswell cpus is 1.35-1.4v, so you can go up to there , depending on your temps and personnal preferences.

 

You should easily be able to reach 4.5ghz though , just overclock like you normally would

put in 1.3v and see if you can get 4.5ghz

1.3v is the highest for longer lifespan..

I'm at 4.6ghz using 1.22v. It's all a matter of luck and the silicon lottery

If anyone asks you never saw me.

I'd recommend starting at our bellow 1.3v personally. That should get you 4.6 ghz assuming you have an average 4690k. If not it should get you to 4.5 at the very least.
