Reviewing my Overclock.
Reviewing my Overclock.
With assistance from a moderator, I successfully achieved my initial overclock on the mt i5 4690k. I elevated the processor beyond its stock performance to reach around 4.3Ghz with a core voltage of 1.123 V. This experience gave me a chance to gather more insights and explore potential enhancements. The following specifications are provided.

Maybe try pushing it a bit higher (core-wise up to 1.25 is fine). Have you adjusted the PSU cooling?
It's interesting to hear that some people are overclocking their PSUs right now with new cases. Raising the Vcore to 1.25 could really damage the PSU, possibly making it fail within a few years. I think it might stop working by the end of 2017. I’m just curious about how quickly the silicon starts to fail.
