Lets get me to 4.4GHz (4670k)

Ive had my 4670k + NH-D15 for a very long time but never bothered to overclock it as I was so concerned about silence. But now I figure instead of looking for an upgrade Ive decided to open the gas and see what I can get out of it.

Naturally the OC genie on my MSI z87 G43 Gaming mobo gives me 4Ghz which is pretty awful considering boost on this thing is 3.8. So I need you guys help with getting a stable OC on this puppy. Shooting for close to 4.4GHz which given what Ive read should be easily achievable.

I need instructions though, I know how to stability test the OC but getting there in the first place is the issue. Im assuming I dont just throw on 1.35v and stick the multiplier to the correct setting.

OC Genie is garbage, set me at 4.0 and 1.4v hahahahaha

 

Just set mult to 44 and set voltage to 1.3v. If it's stable in Windows just keep taking down the voltage until it becomes unstable 

idk

Don't use OC genie. When i overclocked my i7 4790k to 4.5ghz it was very unstable but when i did it manually i could get to 4.6Ghz and keep it stable and if i had better cooling i could probably go higher.

Underclock cache to 3.4GHz and that will help you get core a bit higher than normaly... it doesent affect performance.

OC Genie is crap? oh my... so I could push my CPU (i5 4570) more than 3,4 Ghz what OC Genie provides me?

My Setup: 
CPU: i7 4790 @3800 MHz, MB: MSI H87-G41, Grafik: Gigabyte GTX 1080TI, RAM: 2x 8GB DDR3 (1600), Storage: Samsung SSD 850 Evo

OC genie wont do anything for your chip as it is non-overclockable. Also funny that youre at 3.4 when 3.6 is the default boost clock for that chip.

It sometimes pushes up to 3.6ghz. 

I've opened a new threat if you want to join?

Your CPU is doing that on its own.  It's called Turbo Boost.

Just to expand on this, it's because OC Genie puts more current than is necessary into your CPU, causing overheating and possibly damage.

Im running an i5 4690k + dark rock 3 cooler.... I think the 4670k and 4690k are similar, but I've got mine running comfortably for months now at 1.238v 4.4ghz... could probably lower voltage that slightly or even increase the frequency, but just haven't tried.With the current config, im only getting max 65C at load, and fan speed is never 100%.

 

Try 1.238v, CPU ratio 44, CPU base clock 100.0 - then stress test with AIDA64 trial version? but take idle temps and load temps before you apply the OC first though, so you have something to compare to...

Sounds good! Thats a pretty low voltage!

I might just have a good chip, who knows... I think the 4690k was a refresh of the 4670k, where the 90k had better stability with overclocks and cooler temps..... But try and see what happens
