Overclock 4690k with BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3?

[XZillA]

Hey new to this forum!

So I got this Dark Rock Pro 3 and a i5 4690k at 4.2ghz and when running cinebenchR15 it goes up to 80-90C

Ive seen ppl with a 4690k go far more than 4.2 at lower temps. Is it just a bad cooler or have I done something wrong?

Those temps would be scary with a stock cooler even with an oc.

Did you correctly apply thermal paste?

Ive done that now. Ran Intel XTU at 4.2ghz gets a score of 881 and got max temp of 76C http://i.imgur.com/1PLarJy.png

I increased it with 0.1ghz at a time and got to 4.6ghz where I got a score of 904 and max temp of 81C http://i.imgur.com/nkFHbhk.png

What is the max temp under XTU Bechmark? I dont know how far I can go.

seems about right m8

i have similar temps with be quiet dark rock pro 3 and a 4670k. mine runs a little hotter probably because they improved with the tim on devils canyon
