Did I win the silicon lottery? i5 4690K 5GHz

[Tytan64]

Hello, everyone.

Last night I started tinkering around with my i5 4690K and I was able to get it to 5GHz on all cores.

I think it's an unhealthy overclock.

Baseclock is 102.1MHz, CoreVoltage is 1.450V and Multiplyer is 49.

I'm not sure how low I can set the voltage yet.

I'd appreciate your comments =)

 

I run it at 4.5GHz with 1.200V at the moment btw.

That voltage seems rather high to me, but 5 GHz is fantastic

[Bittenfleax]

Nice.

What does it mean to get to 5ghz? You can boot @ 5ghz? That's oddly vague.

[Geralt]

Gratz. Think I lucked out on mine. 4.5 at 1.32v D:

 

Wanna swap?

I can run games on it and stress test it for an hour without any problems.

The temperatures are getting pretty high now ... 78°C / 172.4°F

I'll pm you if I ever swap it out for an i7 4790K

I imagine it means he's stress tested at 5 GHz and it's stable, but you are right we should ask...

[kameshss]

Noice.

78C isn't that high

[vanished]

78C isn't that high

yeah no kidding, at that voltage and speed, thats fantastic

[SkilledRebuilds]

Back off voltage a step and test @ 5GHZ,..... each step down,....until it crash's, then add some back on top for stability.

Thank you very much for your responses, everyone!

Aren't voltages that high unhealthy for the CPU?

I consider it high

I think so.  Personally I would be uncomfortable pushing any haswell chip over 1.3, but perhaps the refresh ones are a bit tougher

rub it in my face, a**hole. i lost the lottery.. 1.25 on 4.4 .... and isnt even stable i have to put 2 cores on 43. but then stable 4.7 on all cores 1.41v, that was autotune, so i think i could put 48 multiplier because autotune always puts 2much voltage

I'm kinda sorry to hear that but I consider 4.4GHz still pretty high

Just think about the stock clock of an i7 4690K and it's price. Then it's kina ok again, isn't it?

[harrynowl]

I think a lot of people wouldn't want to run that voltage 24/7 on 22nm Tri-Gate.

 

Closer to 4.7/1.325V would be preferable.

 

But if you can get it to around 1.4V you can run it if you can cool it

I never managed to get my 4770k stable at anything more than 4.1 GHz, and that was pushing it on voltage so I just said "forget it" and put it back to stock.  Feel better now?

[Tytan64]

Isn't there somethink like a sweetspot for corevoltage on devils canyon?

Otherwise I go back to my 4.5GHz at 1.200V I guess ^^

well yeah it is kinda ok, i get 655 on cinebench. but it could be better, you got that much more performance with same price. 4.4 like that is a "below average overclocker" , so i have lost. but thats life. every game still runs perfectly, i cant get any difference to gaming with my oc than more noice from pc and higher temps. congrats on your superior chip

I've never heard that before, just maximums you want to stay under, which varies by person and their risk tolerance level

i guess that you made the assumption that i feel better when someone else is in even worse situation, like children in africa? (lol just kiding dont take me seriously) but to answer to your question, no, i dont feel better because my chip is still below average, regardless of your shitchip =) but at least that made me smile, so thanks for that hehe

There is hope yet!

That's much more specific, but what stress test are we talking about?

[msvelev]

I'm pretty happy with mine (4.7 @ 1.28v)  I'd never put 1.45 through it tho...
