you can achieve 4.7 ghz on your i7-4790k at 1.26 volts, which results in temperatures of 3 cores max at 68c and one core at 75c. by turning off hyper threading and raising the voltage to 1.34, you can reach 5ghz with similar temps. which option do you prefer? the 5ghz version with hyper threading or something else?

also, your nh-d14 is performing well, but the stock fans you have are only spinning at 1300 rpm max. are there any better or cooler options that would work better with this cooler?

I would recommend 4.7Ghz with Hyperthreading for two main reasons:
1. A more stable voltage is possible (using over 1.3v pushes performance and you need around 1.34v to reach 5Ghz)
2. Hyperthreading can improve performance in specific applications and games, such as Battlefield 4, beyond just the speed boost.
What game are you trying to test for stability?
Noctua fans are considered among the best, provided your temperatures are acceptable and they don’t produce excessive noise. I’d suggest sticking with them if that’s the case.

Thanks for the guidance.
For stability checks, I run cinebench r15 three times and ensure my PC stays on; that’s how I assess stability.
I mainly rely on it for CS GO since I’m frustrated when my FPS falls below 300 and video rendering becomes slow.

thanks for the advice.
and for stability tests i use cinebench r15 i rerun it 3 times if my pc does not turn off then i think iam good
.
mostly i use it for cs go because i really get pissed when i see my fps drop bellow 300 and a bit of video rendering sony vegas
Okay that should be fine but maybe consider a longer stress test to make sure it's stable, most people do an hour or two with Prime95 v26.6 or Aida64. If you turn off your FPS counter you won't even know that it's dropping below 300
