overclock Overclock

[T0MMEN]

So i finally managed to overclock my intel i5-4690k to 4.6ghz. I was wondering if 1.36volt is safe at this clock ?

And at idle, the watt from the cpu is 30w, is that normal ? At load the watt is about 80-9watts.

 

System :  Intel Core i5-4690K, Socket-LGA1150 HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 8GB Black

ASUS Z97-P, Socket-1150

Cooler Master Seidon 120M CPU Kjøler

Voltage is fine, but have you tried lowering it? Power draw is fine, and what are your temperatures?

My max temp was 77*c on one core, that is using intels stress test benchmark. when im gaming its about 50-60*c. I had it at about 1.3 - 1.34 and it didnt work, so i jumped to 1.36 to check if it was the voltage what was the problem.

sorry for my bad English

How long did you run the test for?

[T0MMEN]

15minutes

Btw, do you think its safe for me to clock it more ? like if i have to set 1.4voltage.
 

And is there any chance u know how to make the clockspeed go down when idle, like when im browsing the internet i dont need the clock to run at 4.6

If Windows is set to Balanced, it should automatically downclock, but make sure you're using adaptive voltage or the CPU will always run at the pre-defined voltage. 15 minutes should be fine, but make sure you're keeping an eye on any kind of evidence of instability. You might be able to overclock more - 1.4V is still fine, but not ideal. The additional overclocking capability is dependent on the silicon of the CPU.

Where do i set windows to balanced ?

Which version are you using?
