overclocking question i5 4690k
Packersfan036 shared their thoughts on the situation, noting the low ambient temperatures and the feasibility of reaching higher clock speeds. They mentioned the potential for 1.32v and a 4.7ghz performance, expressing surprise at the low temperatures achieved. The discussion also touched on stress testing results and the importance of staying under 80C during intensive tests.
Wow, those ambient temperatures seem really low for a 47C load.
You can definitely push it to 1.32v for Haswell, and 4.7ghz should be doable.
TechyInAZ shared their thoughts on the situation, noting the surprisingly low ambient temperatures for such a high load. They mentioned being able to reach 1.32v for Haswell and believe 4.7ghz is achievable. They expressed surprise at their own performance and questioned whether they would need 1.32v to hit 4.7ghz, referencing a stress test where temperatures peaked at 55c under heavy use.
Packersfan036 shared their thoughts on the situation, noting the low ambient temperatures and confirming the feasibility of reaching high voltages for performance gains. They mentioned being surprised by the low temperatures and questioned whether a 1.32v setting would be necessary to hit 4.7ghz. The original poster responded positively, acknowledging the good CPU and discussing stress testing results, suggesting it's possible to maintain under 80C with intensive tests.
TechInAZ shared their thoughts on the situation. They noted the ambient temperatures seem unusually low for a 47C load and mentioned they could reach 1.32v for Haswell, estimating a 4.7ghz performance. They were surprised by the low temperatures and questioned whether a 1.32v setting would be necessary to hit 4.7ghz. They also referenced a stress test using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, which showed temps rising to 55C under heavy load. TechInAZ concluded it was good either way and suggested keeping the voltage stable, advising to monitor results before deciding on overclocking.
