I5 4590 iGpu overclock [help]
Hi everyone, I recently increased the clock speed of my I5's HD 4600 to 1700mhz using Intel xtu software. The voltage is currently set at 1.5v. I'm curious whether that voltage is appropriate for my CPU... I achieved around 38 average frames per second on Unigine Valley, with a score of about 1638. My previous scores ranged from 1620 to 38. Also, the temperatures were between 38-41°C during idle and 61°C during gaming. When not overclocked, it was around 36-39°C idle. I'm using an Intel i5 4590, Msi H97 Gaming 3, Seagate 500gb 7200rpm, Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x4gb, and Seasonic S12ii 520 Bronze. Deepcool Ice Edge Mini FS v2.0 is installed. Please let me know if I should adjust the overclock or if it's safe. Thanks and have a great day.
My Igpu stock voltage is at 0.064V. I didn't touch the voltage on my CPU, only the multiplier which is at 37 (which is the maximum possible). The temperatures I mentioned were for the CPU. I was using RealTemp in the background and when the benchmark finished, the highest temperature reached was 61°C. I'm going to try powering off the GPU via BIOS to check if it helps. It seems to reset again on the Intel XTU.
Okay so.... I tried overclocking in bios for an hour (cos its 4 in the morning and i need sleep) This is actually my first overclocking, I oc'd the Igpu again at 1700mhz at 1.5v like i did on the intel xtu, it was quite hard fiddling with things using bios.
I have not yet find the optimal overclock on my system, I tried the 1700mhz and 1.5v it failed miserably sadly.. it didnt pass the valley I only got to scene 5 and it crashes on scene 6. I tried turning volts down to 1.48v.. it passed scene 6 the crashed at scene 12 or 14. I tried 1.550v and 1.470v still failed. My temps were hitting 71°c.
Does that mean I should get like a better cooler or maybe sacrifice performance? (lol performance) I was thinking of turning it down to 1600mhz.
