4690K OC HELP

[wadzftw]

Hi guys I just upgraded my terrible FX 6300 to an intel 4690k on the z97 pc mate motherboard. Currently i am getting about 4,4 GHz on 1.25 volts. If i say go for 4.6 or 4.7 at 1.3 could i burn the vrm on my motherboard? i burnt my first asrock motherboard with my fx 6300 where it was near 1.55 volts at 4.6 ghz. in conclusion, would 1.29 ish volts be bad for my motherboard i think it has a 4 + 2 power phase design. thank you

You start to degrade at 1.4v, 1.3 is fine

1.4 is if you watercool, even then it's high if you're new to overclocking.

 

Depends how cheap your motherboard is, it's unlikely.

I personally wouldn't pump 1.4 volts through that. 1.3 volts max if I had to but I'd keep an eye on it.

you mean keep an eye on the motherboard temps right? my cpu temps are barely 60 under full load
