cpu Is My CPU Overclock Okay?

[useffff]

Alright, so I have a 4790k that shipped to me at 4.0Ghz... I wanted to know if 4.6Ghz was a good and stable overclock. I know that some people can get more and some can get less. I also wanted to know what voltage I should run it at as well as if my North Bridge clock is alright for my core clock of the CPU. I have been stress testing for about a hour without any OS freezing or BSOD.

 

CPU: 4.6Ghz

NB Clock: 4.0

CPU Core V: 1.202

Temps: 57-66c when stress testing

That all seems fine to me, though I'm no expert of the 4000 series chips. I'd say say you're good to go though.

NO  you should be able to hit 800GHz at .05V

 

 

 

 

In all seriousness that OC is fine, i see no issues.

Looks good to me.

You might even have another 100-300 MHz headroom with only 1.202V and 66°C max at 4.6.

Alright thanks... I will keep doing my stress test just to make sure and I might push it a little farther if it dosent crash at my settings right now.

You can push a bit more since you've got temperature and voltage headroom. Make sure Vccin is always 0.5V higher than Vcore. I'd try 1.3V Vcore first and see if the cooler handles it.
