Need Over Clocking Help
i7-4790k paired with Corsair H80i GT cooler
Z97 Extreme 3 motherboard
At a base clock of 4.0ghz 4.3 with turbo enabled, temperatures stay between 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. Under load, idle runs at 45 max and reaches 80 degrees Celsius when pressure increases. I turn it off at 90 degrees and 100% loads after that spike.
I’m adjusting the settings to push it further. For best results, set the multiplier to 40x and voltage to 1v, then increase until stable, adding 0.025v if needed. Keep monitoring temperatures closely. It’s usually safe to stay below 70°C, though this varies with cooling solution and personal comfort. Your current temps are quite high—your own is around 4.7 with 1.25v, staying under 65°C even at full load, and at 5.0ghz with 1.42v it doesn’t reach 80°C.
How do you increase the performance beyond normal limits? You adjust the multiplier to 40x and voltage to 1v, then push it. If it stays stable, raise the multiplier to 41x and continue stressing. When instability appears, add a little more voltage until it settles again. Keep repeating this process until you reach the chip’s maximum or your target overclock. Monitor temperatures closely while doing this. Usually, you shouldn’t exceed 70°C, but this varies with your cooling solution and comfort level. Your current temps are quite high—your are at 4.7 with 1.25v, staying below 65°C under full load. Even at 5.0GHz with 1.42v, I never reach 80°C.
How are you boosting performance? Are you adjusting someone else's voltage settings? To overclock, set the multiplier to 40x and voltage to 1v, then push it. If it stays stable, raise the multiplier to 41x and continue stressing. Once unstable, add 0.025v until stability returns. Keep repeating until you reach the chip's maximum or your target overclock. Monitor temperatures closely—generally aim for under 70°C, though this varies with cooling solution and comfort level. Your temps are quite high. I’m at 4.7 with 1.25v, staying below 65°C under full load. Even at 5.0GHz with 1.42v, I don’t exceed 80°C. Thanks!
How are you adjusting the settings to increase performance? Are you changing someone else's voltage values? To boost performance, set the multiplier to 40x and voltage to 1v, then push it. If it stays steady, raise the multiplier to 41x and continue stressing. When it becomes unstable, add a little more voltage until it stabilizes again. Keep repeating this process until you reach the chip's maximum or your target overclock. Always monitor temperatures while doing this. Usually, you shouldn't exceed 70°C, but this depends on your cooling solution and comfort level.
Your current temperatures are quite high. I have mine at 4.7 with 1.25v and stay below 65°C under full load. Even at 5.0GHz with 1.42v, I don’t reach 80°C.
What do you mean by stable?
The stability remains consistent even when subjected to an hour of stress testing. Typically, stress tests are conducted for six hours to verify full stability.
