Hi Guys,
I'm currently running my 4590k at 4.6 ghz with 1.20vcore. The temperatures are 25°C idle and 69°C during the max load (2 hour battlefront) using NH u14s dual fans at 1100 rpm max.
What do you think it's okay with? Also, after reading some reviews on the Oc 4590k, it seems I might have room to try 4.8Ghz. Is that worth it?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't bother personally, as 69° is about as hot as I'd like to let my CPU get, besides, you will get very little benefit from going to 4.8GHz over 4.6 GHz unless you have a serious CPU bottleneck, which you don't

Note that 69° marks the peak temperature, while the average constant temperature in load is around 63°. Previously I was at 1.120 Vcore for 4.4GHz with a temperature of 24°C idle and 60°C load. Room temperature is 21°C. I’m mainly trying to find the spot where the CPU stays stable 24/7. Does it seem more suitable for 4.4GHz or is 4.6GHz fine? My CPU appears to be performing well based on what I saw in another thread, though I’m not entirely sure. I might be able to lower the Vcore a bit at 4.6GHz since I switched directly from 1.120Vcore to 1.200Vcore to support 4.6GHz without adjusting the Vcore much, as I was too lazy to try different voltages before finding a stable point.

If I want to experiment with 4.8GHz, should I try 48x100 (with higher Vcore) or go with 46x105 and keep the Vcore the same as with 48x100?

Regarding bottlenecks, do you have one in your rig that could help improve performance? Also, my Vcore is currently set to manual. This means that even when idle, the CPU clock stays at 800Mhz, and the Vcore remains fixed at 1.200. Can I switch it to adaptive mode to match the CPU clock and ensure the Vcore decreases in sync with the clock speed?

How are you figuring out your vcore is 1.20v? Is this the information the BIOS provides or what a program indicates?

I configured 1.200 manual vcore in the BIOS.
Asus suite software matches this setting as well.

Did you use manual Vcore or offset? What does real temp, cpuz, or hardware monitor indicate about your maximum Vcore when loading cores with prime95 small FFT?

I used manual vcore settings.
My vcore stays at 1.200 no matter the CPU usage, whether it's idle at 800 MHz or running at full load at 4.6 GHz. I believe this is because it's configured manually in the BIOS, maintaining a fixed value instead of adapting like adaptive mode, which would adjust the vcore based on CPU load down to 1.200.
In my case, the maximum vcore could be set to 1.200, but adaptive mode should be enabled in the BIOS to allow it to lower when the CPU is idle at 800 MHz, as I think the CPU doesn't require that high a value there.
