i5 4670k OC - Le temperature sono accettabili?
Hey guys,
I'm trying my first original character right now on my old i5 4670k since it's getting slow for today's standards.
I set the core voltage to 1.19 (manual) and the core ratio to 42 (sync all cores).
After running IBT a few times, here are my results.

Is everything okay or should I adjust something?

From those screenshots it appears to be good. The temperatures tend to reach about the 80c range, which is what I expect. It might be useful to run Prime95 small FFTs for an hour to check if temperatures exceed 80c. If they do, you're likely at the limit. Using HWMon to track system temps and voltage could also help.
The suggested configurations for Prime95 alongside your CPU are not specified. You may need to adjust settings based on your specific hardware.
Small FFT tests for Prime. This only evaluates CPU/cache performance, which is what you need to verify CPU stability. If temperatures exceed 80°C, stop the test. If a core fails, remove it. This indicates your overclocking parameters are too aggressive and heat is triggering CPU failure. Don't be concerned if it stops working. Then gradually lower the overclock by one level (CPU multiplier) or raise voltage until stability returns. However, increasing voltage will generate more heat and higher temperatures. If the test continues without failure and temps remain under 80°C, you've achieved a solid overclock.
When launching Prime95 in Small FFT, the temperature rises quickly to 86 degrees... it stays there but is still too high. Should I lower the voltage and see if it stabilizes? If yes, what temperature change would be needed to reach around 1.8 volts? Also, I haven’t replaced the thermal paste on my CPU—maybe it’s not necessary. How significant would the paste difference be in this situation?
I rechecked with prime95 26.6 again. After reapplying thermal paste, I’m seeing idle temps between 35 and 38 degrees, and with small FFTs I’m getting readings around 65 to 68 degrees. (I spiked it once for about two seconds to 75, but it dropped back down immediately after starting prime95.) I ran prime95 for over two hours without any crashes or failures. So I think I’m fine now, right? Thanks a lot!
I believe your OC looks promising. To be certain, keep the PC running Prime overnight. However, two hours should be enough to begin testing. If you encounter any random crashes, try again for a longer period to confirm stability. Alternatively, revert to version 4.1.
Good luck and enjoy gaming!
