Is My i5 4690k Good?
Is My i5 4690k Good?
I'm currently pushing my i5 4690k to higher speeds, reaching around 4.2 Ghz per core. The Vcore sits at 1.100 and temperatures are at 45°C during stability tests in adia64 with all cores at full load. I've only adjusted the multiplier and Vcore settings, keeping adaptive disabled. Should I continue increasing it, maybe aiming for around 1.15?
1.3v is the suggested maximum safe voltage. Continue testing until you feel uneasy about the temperatures. Temperatures between 80-90 degrees typically work well for stress tests, usually lowering to about 60-70 under heavy loads.
i was at 4.3 mainly since i misread 4290 while checking the clock speeds.
i think it's okay to increase it slightly.

I'm really excited right now—I'm at 4.4, passed the 47c stability test on aida64 and 1.150v, and it's working great. I believe I have a good chip or maybe I'm misconfiguring something in aida64.
*another edit* 56 c for stable 4.4.
It looks like you're checking how your cooler performs under stress. You mentioned running at 4.5ghz with a temperature of 1.247v and are curious about the cooling performance compared to others. Your testing process includes several benchmarks to ensure stability.
That looks quite solid.
My 4690k runs at 4.5ghz with a 1.247v clock speed.
What cooler are you using? They seem to be running very good temperatures, better than mine and the watercooled ones :/
To check stability I run these tests: 2 hours AIDA64, 2 hours OCCT, 20 passes IBT Maximum, 12-hour Prime Blend.
If my CPU passes all of them I think it’s stable.
I’m using a cm hyper 212 evo and the highest temperature it reached in AIDA64 was around 57 with a steady 56. I posted too early because I was excited. Today I plan to try 4.5ghz and see what the lowest stable voltage is. Then I’ll start the stress tests in AIDA and Prime95!!!
Alright so right now my i5 4690k is at 4.5 ghz with a vcore of 1.150 and running fft small in prime 95 only hitting 62 max and constant 60c.
Should I keep going up? or should I just leave it there? Or should I try to lower the vcore so I can get lower temps?
*edit* I got my first Bsod running large prime 95 with those settings and it was running at like 60c 62c still so I'm gonna try again and if it happens I'm gonna up the Vcore to 1.175 or 1.2
Previously I relied on AIDA64 for my 12-hour overnight stress test, but now I've switched to Prime95 (version 26.6) because my CPU wasn't fully stable even after more than 12 hours of testing with AIDA64. Now I only use it to locate stable voltages for two hours before proceeding.
