i5-4690k OC

[energylightning]

Hello guys so I overclocked my i5 4690k to 4,5ghz with 1.205v and its stable. I have enabled all power saving features that intel offers like C-state, EIST etc. But I noticed that my VID voltage stays constant but the Voltage Core is constantly changing which is what I wanted, the only thing that bothers me is that my VID is static. I've OCed with manual mode since i didn't like offset or adaptive so much. My question is did I do this right or did I miss something or that is normal?

Sorry for the noob questions first time overclocking CPU...

cheers

How'd you test the stability? And if it hasn't blow up or crashed, I think you're okay for now.

Try 1.3V... (If you have good enough cooling) you might get to 4.6-4.7...

Okay you are scaring me xD.... I tested XTU 10 hours , Aida64 4-5 hours, prime95. intel burning test. What do you mean blowing up ;D

Just saying if it hasn't, probably fine for now. And yeah, just wanted to see how you stressed it.

Actually I went with 1.225 4,6ghz stable but i don't really want to push it, I just wanted to know why my VID stays static and doesn't change but my cpu Vcore changes

Why not? If you got 4.6 at 1.225V then you might be able to get to 4.8-4.9 GHz at 1.3V.... (It's a safe voltage for Haswell)

What do you guys think about the static VID should I be worried is this normal?

That's perfectly normal. VID should be static at what you set your vCore to in BIOS.

There is a setting... If you don't want it to be static, then turn on adaptive voltage (or something like that)

I don't want to use adaptive voltage since it sometimes uses more juice than it should. On the other hand im not so familiar with offset still learning about it
