CPU overclock to 4.6 Ghz
CPU overclock to 4.6 Ghz
SirFlamenco shared his thoughts with Liquid-X, who responded back. They both mentioned that everything seems okay and praised the overclocking skills. Liquid-X noted the performance at 4.6 ghz was solid and suggested it might be a good result. They also discussed the Kraken X62 model and the possibility of increasing the CPU further, though the current temperature stayed within safe limits. The conversation ended with a request to consider lowering the frequency to 4.5 ghz.

Everything seems okay. By the way, you're a pretty good overclocker, really. How impressive that much.
4,6 ghz at 1,36v isn't bad at all and you likely managed to get the silicon right. Well, fine if you have a custom loop, this would be a tough CPU. But I think you have a 212 evo – am I right?
No, I got a Kraken X62. It's an AIO, so I can probably push the CPU higher. Right now the temperature is mostly around 55°C and the maximum underload is about 63°C, which rarely happens. I'm happy with 4.6 Ghz.
What about Prime 95?
I ran Prime95 for an hour and 20 minutes; the max was 74°C.
Well, your chip seems average. 75°C at 4.6ghz isn't great. To answer your question directly, yes, everything is fine.
Alright, thank you. Should I lower it to 4.5 Ghz?
If your temperatures stay under 85°C and there are no stability issues during a stress test like with Prime 95 (24 hours without stopping), you can consider your overclock stable.
SirFlamenco shared his thoughts, Liquid-X responded, SirFlamenco joined in, and again Liquid-X confirmed everything is under control. He mentioned being a pretty good overclocker and noted the 4.6 Ghz setting was solid. He also talked about having a Kraken X62, possibly higher CPU options, and a 212 EVO chip. He shared his experience with Prime95, noting a max temp of 74°C and 63°C underload, which rarely occurred. He concluded that everything is fine and asked if he should lower the frequency to 4.5 Ghz.
