Enhance performance with 4970k + liquid cooling
Enhance performance with 4970k + liquid cooling
Recently, I purchased my CPU and was curious about what other users with a 4970k have done to overclock. I also wanted to understand how to safely determine my CPU's maximum limits since they vary so much. My goal is to reach around 4.7 or 4.8 ghz. Thanks for any advice you can offer!
The CLC cooler doesn’t offer the same overclocking margin as a similar air cooler, and the CX series PSU (8.0 Performance / 6.0 Buld Quality) might limit your performance a bit. Unless you’re very lucky, you’ll likely need more than 1.4 vcore or surpass the H80i’s thermal limits before reaching 4.8
