Overclocking voltage help
Hi, I've been raising the vcore voltage after overclocking my i5 4690k to 4.5ghz. I started from 1.1V and slowly increased it, but I never achieved a stable overclock in that range. Should I keep going up or should I change the frequency?
I wouldn't exceed 1.38V during the period. For sustained overclocking, I wouldn't go beyond 1.3v (preferably under 1.28V). You might need to reduce clock speed for a consistent 25/7 OC. Not every chip can be overclocked equally well.

I'm not very lucky with my new chip then
🙁
I'll attempt to use 4.4ghz, hoping it works at 1.28V
I've successfully located my stable overclock! 4.4ghz at 1.27V. The CPU remains under 45°C even during intense usage.
Wow, you really nailed the silicon lottery! Congrats! You might be able to reach 4.8GHZ with your sample for quick boosts. I guess you chose a solid Volt/Frequency balance for continuous overclocking.
