Considering the jump from 4.1GHz to 4.2GHz on a 4.4GHz core is feasible.
Considering the jump from 4.1GHz to 4.2GHz on a 4.4GHz core is feasible.
I recently increased my i7-4790k to a 4.4GHz core at 1.19V and adjusted my ring to 4.1GHz at 1.15V. After running prime95 for 24 hours, everything remained stable. Now I’m realizing that raising the ring ratio might have been beneficial. Would the extra performance be worth the time spent? My peak temperatures reached 86°C during the 8k to 4096k tests.
Ring bus speed upgrades on Haswell and skylake platforms offer limited benefits, with most benchmarks indicating minimal improvement in performance. The real gains come from boosting core frequencies instead.
86C is a fairly high temperature. You might want to focus on enhancing your cooling or lowering your VCore and/or multiplier settings. The performance boost of 0.1 to 0.3Ghz is less than 10%. Unless you're always pushing your CPU to its limit, you probably won't see a noticeable change in everyday use.
I recently increased my i7-4790k overclock to 4.4GHz core on 1.19V, while keeping my ring at 4.1GHz on 1.15V. After running prime95 for 24 hours everything stayed stable. Now I’m wondering if raising the ring ratio would really improve performance. Would the extra time be worth it? My maximum temperature reached 87°C during the 8k to 4096k test.

Technical in AZ says overclocking the ring bus on Haswell and skylake architectures provides minimal improvement. Many benchmarks indicate little to no performance boost from higher ring bus speeds. It's better to stick with the original clock and voltage settings. If you choose to revert, you won't need to retest under stock conditions afterward.

The temperature is quite high. You might want to focus on enhancing your cooling or lowering your VCore and/or multiplier settings. A performance boost of just 0.1 to 0.3Ghz represents less than a 10% difference. Unless you're always pushing the CPU to its limit, you probably won't notice the impact during regular use. I haven't experienced those temps during typical daily sessions, so it seems manageable. What are your thoughts?
