Overclocking 4670K

you can probably get to 4.6ghz stable and maybe 4.7-4.8 if you're feeling generous with voltage to keep it stable on that chip.

 

EDIT: Why is hyperthreading disabled?

 

EDIT: Woops thats a 4670k not 4790k. Overclocking will likely give you nice benefits considering you only have those 4 cores.

well, what stresstests have you ran? IXT, IBT, OCCT are the ones i recomend. or just none if you dont care about it crashing.

 

My I5 4690K did 4.7GHz @ 1.335V on air, and my I7 4790K does 5.1GHz @ 1.375V with a delid and watercooling

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Yeah, I have my 4670K on 4.7Ghz at 1.29V IIRC, runs stable on both air and water cooler... I have it in my mining rig ATM still OC'ed although it doesn't use the extra grunt for that task. I have a CM masterliquid 240 lite on it and it runs COOL.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Holy crap bro, that's a lot of voltage!

mine runs daily 5ghz @ 1.355V, your technically not supposed to go past 1.3 or 1.325 but if there is thermal overhead to hell with it

It's not the thermals you need to worry about.  Just pumping it with voltage can damage the chip.  I'm surprised it hasn't failed.  1.3V is past "safe" values.

lol no its not, you are fine till 1.4V for 24/7

On Skylake.  The general consensus for Haswell is 1.3V.  That's also the point where most BIOS will warn you.

Intel rates the haswell/devils chips @ max 1.3 or 1.325V (dont remember). and yeah excessive voltage can cause damage, but i havent seen it yet.... My old I5- 4690K has seen 1.425V on liquid for quite some time. Still runs daily no problem, Xeon 5680 just hit 1.6V vcore a few days ago trying to push for a 5ghz overclock. Its all "at your own risk" so depending on what you are willing to risk is going to determine what you get.

my opinion is unless you spike the CPU with voltage, you'll run out of thermal headroom before ever damaging a chip.

no... 1.4V has been the safe voltage for Intel chips at least since 2nd gen Core I, the BIOS dosent complain at 1.3. idk what Intel says but i havent seen anyone but you claim such a low value for max safe voltage before

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Then you haven't looked.  Spend 30 seconds searching.

 

I can confirm the motherboard warnings personally.  My Z97 board warns at 1.3V, and my Z270 board warns at 1.4V.

i havent, i have mainly just asked on forums when i got started with overclocking on my I5 4690K. everyone was saying you are fine till 1.4V...

i can confirm that my z97 mobo dosent really warn about voltage. slider goes red at some point but i havent gone there for voltage yet anyway at 1.375V. its something like 1.65V for the DDR3 when it goes red.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...
