4790k processor running at 4.7ghz with 1.2v voltage, plus RAM overclocking?
Hi Toms. I've run my CPU under stress for 12 hours with RAM functioning normally, no BSOD or issues. The CPU runs at 4790k and is OC'd to 4.7ghz at 1.2v. Temperatures stay within safe limits during stress, maxing out at 55°C while the GPU stays at 100+ on H100i with max power draw. RAM is original 1600mhz CL8 Corsair Vengeance, set to 2133mhz in BIOS without overvolting. My motherboard is Z97 Maximus VII Hero. Are those temperatures and voltages acceptable?
As long as its stable yea. Ram oc is usually pointless. Actually most of the time it's pointless and can be a huge headache to chase down if instability occurs but, if you've tested and all is well then your solid. Leave it as is and enjoy. Also you have plenty of headroom if you want to oc the CPU more. Not that you need it for gaming.
It's a strong overclock considering the voltage. Excellent temperatures as well. This setup is fully safe for continuous gaming or other heavy use. Just monitor the temperatures and voltage levels. Have fun!
As long as it's stable, everything works fine. In most cases, it's not worth bothering with it since it can become a big problem if instability arises, but if you've confirmed everything is okay then you're good to go. Just leave it as it is and have fun. You also have room to increase the CPU usage if desired. Not necessary for gaming, but possible.
