i5 4690k b85-g41 overclock
I somehow managed to boost my chip using this motherboard that shouldn't support overclocking. The process was simple—I just accessed the BIOS and all the OC options were unlocked, allowing me to reach 4.3 GHz at 1.215 volts with a reliable cooler keeping it under 70°C. My highest temperature ever recorded was 69°C. I wanted to know if this overclock would harm the board or if it’s worth keeping, especially since my Cinebench scores are solid (540 on stock, 651 on OC).
Your current overclock and voltage settings are around average. Intel reports a maximum temperature of 67°C. You might improve performance by using better thermal paste or lowering the voltage until temperatures stay safe. The 4770k temperatures apply to you. On your board, Haswell supports up to 24/7 at 1.35V. I currently run my 4690k at 4.7GHz and 1.34V. It's mainly about the CPU and its stability rather than the board itself. You should keep the overclock as it is. On this setup, I wouldn't increase it much further based on your temperatures.
