i7 4790k Overclock

[BerserkHealer]

Hi all,

 

I am Ocing my i7 4790k and I just want to make sure im doing things right, and everything seems safe.

 

I've added the stress test results I got, would you say its safe to push it a little more? had it running for 20 mins and no crashes or anything. I still had msi afterburning, Microsoft edge with 9 tabs open, battlenet, steam and hw monitor all running as well while the test was going.

oh and discord running

It seems good, but while running Aida id recommend stressing the gpu with some benchmarks to see if it bumps the temp of the cou anymore. But I’d say it should be fine and you’re good to go!

thanks … I had another go at ocing … atm im stable at 4.8gz and the voltage is like 1.37 is that ok? and temps are like max peak 90 but a steady 70-80 when stress testing on aida 64. gaming running about 40- 60 that ok??

I wouldn't go much higher than 1.35v for a daily, but I've pushed mine to 1.4v and beyond before to hit 5GHz before. Not worth it in my experience, too risky for a daily driver. Try and back your voltage down a bit, but honestly the difference between 4.8 and 4.7 is negligible.

1.37 is a bit on the high side. I run my 8700K at 1.28 day to day. Doesn't survive Aida for long but works fine for gaming and Photoshop

1.37 is a Bit high, as said by orbitalbuzzsaw, so chuck it down a notch. Temps are riding the edge but should be fine

I tried 4.9 on 1.42v and i got like 10- 15 mins into aida 64 before it crashed =/ tbh it is running as sweet as a nut on 4.8 on 1.37. gaming tempts are like 51 * in a room 27-31 degree. ill try and undervolt it a little to see if i can see get it stable at lower voltage
