Hello, yesterday I shared my experience with the OC Genie setting on my motherboard. Today I successfully overclocked and achieved a 1.13V for 4.4GHz on my i7 4790k with an H110i water cooler. Could you let me know if my temperatures are within acceptable ranges? Thanks!
The key factor to focus on is the processor's maximum temperature. This is when it begins reducing the voltage. However, most individuals aim to maintain temperatures below approximately 80°C. So it's safe to operate at 73°C.

To be precise, 4.4 is essentially a turbo boost speed... but when you reach the top ranges of 4.7 to 4.9, it's time to step up again...

This was my first experience with overclocking, and I was curious about whether my CPU temperatures measured on ASUS RealBench and Cinebench R15 were satisfactory.
The Paladin:
you don't have to push anything too hard to hit 4.4, it handles that on its own. Just set your core OC x47 and voltage to 1.299 and see how it performs. You probably will notice it runs around 70-75°C. But yesterday my v-core was at 1.216 with 4.4 GHz, and I got 76°C on Cinebench, so I think it might get even hotter if you increase the voltage and CPU speed.
x45 at the same voltage, then check stability by pushing to x46 repeatedly until it fails to boot. After that, increase the voltage gradually; this process is lengthy, but understanding the 4790K makes it manageable to try x46 with 1.26.
