4690k and Maximus vi hero overclocking assistance
I pushed the road to 4.8 ghz but it didn’t work.
I followed this guide: http://overclocking.guide/z97-maximus-vii-gene/
My overclocks were:
4.2 ghz, CPU cache ratio min/max: 35 CPU cores, voltage 1.2V, cache voltage 1.2V, initial CPU input 1.72V, XMP memory set maxcore temp to 57°C passed realbench test.
4.3 ghz, CPU cache ratio min/max: 35 CPU cores, 1.2V, cache 1.2V, initial 1.72V, XMP set maxcore temp to 60°C passed realbench test.
4.4 ghz, CPU cache ratio min/max: 35 CPU cores, 1.225V, cache 1.2V, initial 1.72V, XMP set maxcore temp to 64°C passed realbench test.
4.5 ghz, CPU cache ratio min/max: 35 CPU cores, 1.275V, cache 1.2V, initial 1.72V, XMP set maxcore temp to 70°C passed realbench test.
4.6 ghz, CPU cache ratio min/max: 35 CPU cores, 1.275-1.350V, cache 1.2V, initial 1.72-2.0V, XMP set maxcore temp to 75°C failed realbench test.
When I returned to 4.5 ghz with these values:
4.5 ghz, CPU cache ratio min/max: 35 CPU cores, 1.325V, cache 1.2V, initial 1.79V, XMP set maxcore temp to 72°C passed realbench test. Passed the real bench stress test for an hour. Used Intrel extreme cpu stress test for 5 hours and the system crashed with BSOD. I was asleep when it happened.
Core Voltage and CPU Cache Voltage in manual mode
Are there other settings I should tweak? What’s the maximum core voltage I can apply? Should I upgrade to a new motherboard? Should I get another 4690k CPU? Should I replace my RAM? I know CPUs are a bit of a gamble, but still.
Computer specs
CPU: 4690k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1600MHz 16GB
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
GPU: 780Ti
Motherboard: Asus Maximus Vi Hero
I plan to run overclock for continuous play through CS:GO, I know it’s risky but I want 400+ FPS. I’m really aiming for 4.8 GHz and want to learn how to overclock to get the best performance from my system. How can I make this happen? ;D
Today I have a GTX 1070 4.0. I’m getting a lot of help here – thanks a ton. Sorry for my poor English xD
Your CPU's capabilities depend on the specific model you own. Based on tests with 4690K, it seems around 10% or slightly more can handle it. Asus previously tested many 4770K units and observed similar results. You might be able to use a higher voltage, but keep an eye on temperatures—it could be the limiting factor.

Asus previously tested many 4770K units and observed similar results. You might be able to increase the voltage a bit, but keep an eye on temperatures—those will be the main factor in performance.
The capabilities of your CPU depend on the specific model you own. With a 4690K I'd estimate around 10% could handle it, possibly a bit more. Asus tested several 4770Ks and observed similar results. You might be able to increase the voltage slightly, but keep an eye on temperatures—it will be the main factor. The article you shared also supports this concern. If you have a chance to return your CPU, you could try another one or see if performance improves. Are you planning to overclock your current setup?
