s about i7 4790k overclocking
Hi
my build: asus maximus hero vii
i7 4790k
coolermaster 120xl
i overclocked this cpu in windows with-intel extreme tuning utility-up to 4.7ghz @1.19v
then run strees test temp was around 47 57c
now my questions is:
1. can i keep this setting for 24/7
2. how can i more overclock this cpu like 4.9ghz
thanks.
I recommend maintaining the speed at 4.7Ghz or adjusting it down to 4.6Ghz. Both options offer similar performance close to 4.9Ghz, yet they provide greater stability and long-term peace of mind. I used to always aim for the highest possible speed on my CPUs, but I soon learned that pushing a CPU near its maximum continuously can lead to occasional crashes or unresolved problems, even if it passes all stress tests.
If your processor can reliably operate at 4.9Ghz around the clock, why not take advantage of it? It’s an exciting opportunity to optimize your system.
I experienced stability at 4.8ghz with a 1.29v clock speed, but using the Corsair H100i resulted in about 55 degrees of CPU temperature during gameplay such as GTA 5 and BF4.
Thanks for the response.
After trying overclocking without using BIOS, I played AC Syndicate for 45 minutes and my temperature stayed below 58°C.
I wonder if a 240mm cooler isn't necessary?
Safe playing between 70-75 degrees in games. If it climbs further, lower the clock slightly.
I attempted multiple times to achieve a stable 4.8ghz at frequencies between 1.28-29 but encountered issues. What could be the problem?
