Maximum stable overclock for 2500k using Noctua NH-D14 (Asus P8P67)
Maximum stable overclock for 2500k using Noctua NH-D14 (Asus P8P67)
Hmm, now I'm on the stock cooler. It's overclocked to 4.2 with a voltage of 1,328. The max temperature during gaming stays around 70. That suggests the chip is doing well. If you need that voltage for 4.2, then it's probably a lower-tier chip like my 3570K, which can't reach 4.3 no matter how much I push it. I said if you want that frequency, aim for around 4.3 TOPS. The safe max voltage is about 1,335.
It also relies on the voltage level you wish to apply. 4.5Ghz works for me with Stock volts on my 2600k.
Hmm, now I'm on board with the stock cooler. It's overclocked to 4.2 with a voltage of 1,328. The max temperature during gaming stays around 70, so I believe the chip is doing well.
Running a h100i on my 2500k with 4.5ghz at 1.35v is possible, but pushing to 4.6ghz at 1.4v isn't worth it for me. Sandy Bridge CPUs generally handle temperature better, so it's more about comfort with voltage rather than strict limits.
I understand that using 4,5 with the Evo 212 (which isn't as powerful as the H100i or D14) is quite typical. Arma is a game heavily reliant on CPU performance. I'm aware that only about 10% of those CPUs can handle 5 GHz or higher. I'm hoping I can manage it. 😊
So, is using over 1.4 GHz risky?

I mentioned if you need that frequency and voltage, aiming for around 4.3 TOPS would be safer. The safe max voltage is about 1,335.
