Average 4770K overclock

[Coombzy]

Before you say nobody knows its the silicon lottery I am aware of that what I am wondering is what most users have got percentage wise I was watching Linus's overclocking guide and I was just wondering if those percentages were accurate?

I would guess like 4.2ghz is pretty average.

about 20-30% extra, with proper cooler

I'll up you a megahertz and say 4.3.

Haswell from my eyes as a ivy bridge user overclocks really shitty and produces a butt-ton of heat.

 

everything from 4.0 to 4.5 is do-able with good enough cooling, everything after that and you will have some serious heat issues.

That's the kind of clock I was hoping for I won't have "the best cooling" it will be with a H80i

I'll call your 4.3, and then raise you 50mhz.

Just remmeber that the power draw and the voltage draw is not liner like most other chips.

 

 

For example pushing the core to 3900Mhz will draw about 20% more power, pushing it to 4600Mhz will use 50% more power. I would not recommend going or trying to go over 4.6.

not looking for an extreme OC like that if I get a good chip I will still try and be safe and go for about 4.2-4.4 apparently the board I have chosen clocks the cpu at 3.9GHz out of the box so I will probably stress it there first

fold, too high for me.

 

and btw megadave 0.1ghz is 100mhz and not 1mhz

[MasterJV]

I'd say 4.2 GHz would be the average.

Yeah, brain fart. 1000mhz  = 1ghz.

he wanted to sa 4.35

At recommended voltage (1.3 or below) with recommended temps? I would say 4.3. If you get above that you did pretty good. If you get way above that you won the silicon lottery in a big way. I've seen people say they can't get 4.1 but I think that is because they are trying to run their cache too high and have voltages wrong in some places. 

 

What people fail to realize though is the 4770k is not a 3.9ghz chip in a 4 core game.Turbo doesn't work that way. You are only getting 3.9 in a 2 core game which runs at 150 fps anyways. So  if you "only get 4.3" you are sitting on a pretty big overclock. Not Sandy Bridge like, but then again, nothing is.

I can get 4.6 on mine without passing 1.3v or 70c. Guess I won the lottery... I can get 4.4 with the most minor of voltage increases over default @ 1.15v and only runs around ~55c at load.
