Can't exceed 1.245 Volts on Asus Maximus VII hero
Hello, I'm trying to increase my i7 4790k's clock speed from 4.6 GHz to 4.8 GHz without raising the core voltage beyond 1.245 Volts. Is there a possibility to surpass that limit?
As long as you maintain safe temperatures, then yes.
There are various views on the maximum voltage to avoid.
Some recommend 1.3, others 1.35, and some suggest 1.4.
Based on what I've discovered, temperatures begin to increase significantly after 1.3v, and I prefer to stay below 1.35v.
I'm presently operating at 4.6ghz with 1.27 volts.
I can safely push up to 4.8ghz at 1.32v, but the temperatures become quite high at that speed.
only the changes you mentioned were made, specifically enabling the XMP profile and setting the multiplier to 46 at 4.6GHz. The voltage limit of 1.245 was also adjusted.
there's a lot more to it then just changing the multiplier
have you read up on manual overclocking at all?
if not, have a look here. I found it a really good guide

Okay I will follow this guide but my voltage is still stuck at 1.245 I read that 1.3 is safe for everyday operation is there a way to go over 1.245?
To adjust the voltage, the system must switch to manual mode in the BIOS. A 1.3v setting is suitable for this CPU as long as the cooler maintains stable temperatures.

Yes, 1.3 volts is a suitable level for that CPU when your cooler maintains proper temperatures.
I’ve set it manually in my UEFI BIOS but still can’t exceed 1.245 :/
Regarding the 4.6GHz setting, I’m unsure what it affects exactly.
Can you input a value into the bios, or is it impossible to modify it?
