How far can I push my i5-4690k?

[ZenMonkey]

Currently, I have my cpu overclocked to 45/45/44/43 at 1.2625v with an NZXT Kraken X41 keeping thermals in the low 60s under load in Aida64. I understand that the silicon lottery will play a part, but how far can I reasonably push the chip while expecting it to run for 18-24 more months?

why individual multipliers,nonsense to me? 

you can push the voltage easily to 1.32v for a 24/7,see how much you can increase the multiplier at that voltage

Yeah as long as you have a good enough mobo and the temps don't go to crazy you should be able to push into the low 1.3v range.

It was set to 35/35/34/33 default with a boost to 39/39/38/37, so I just increased everything by 10 and wasn't sure how much of a difference it made. I'm new to more extreme overclocking.

up the voltage to I'd say no more than 1.35 for core, set the multiplier to all cores to 4.7, see if you're stable, if not, increase the VCCIO and ring voltages and try again, Haswell has a lot of auxiliary voltages that also effect stability.

VCCSA is also very important, they shouldn't be higher than about 1.25 though for 24/7. These voltages have different names each chipset almost so I haven't kept up, for the FIVR voltage or ring voltage (what ever they call) a 20% increase over stock should be enough.

To get the best performance your going to have to tweak it by about .015v at a time.

i have mine at 4.7 with 1.39v
