Overclock i7 4790k?

[xDylanio]

How much of an overclock do you think I can get on my i7 4790k. I've had it for a year and a half. I haven't tweaked anything. 

 

I was thinking of overclocking, but how much of an overclock can I can on this cpu?

Most can hit 4.6 to 4.7, mine is sitting at 4.4 with no voltage offset.

mine is a pretty bad overclocker,4.6 is just barely stable with 1.35v

so i settled for 4.5 at 1.19v,at least the temps are in check now

4.4 is the default turbo speed

At 4.8 @ 1.31. Havent done much more as I don't see a point. I just turn down the voltage a bit and let it do its thing.

yeah,it just eats up voltage like crazy at higher clocks

i managed to get 4.8 at 1.465v once but i had to dip my rad in ice water to keep that cool(just wanted to see how far i could push it)

actually this thread motivated me to get back at it to finally break 9k in time spy

4.7 at 1.36v,temps are way too high for 24/7 usage tho,96° on core 1 max with every fan in the system at max(usually run at min rpm to keep it quiet)

Nice OC, what cooler are you using?

PS: Nice background picture.

Just an ek block. I like the pic too, need one big enough to cover all 3 monitors and its nice to look at.

I put mine at 4.5 and it boosts to 5.0

I know, I have it set to always run at that turbo frequency, so it's technically OC'd to the turbo at all times

4.6ghz with 1.26 V

id go straight for 1.375v and 4.8ghz, if you have a good cooler.

Okay so for this I would just go to bios and change the settings right? I don't need to tamper with like ram or anything?

just max out your ram and yes, youll have to go into the bios. dont go over 1.5 volts as thatll almost instantly kill your chip.
