safe 24/7 vcore
Hi, I have an i7 4790k CPU OC at 4.5ghz with a stable 1.170vcore. Is this safe to use continuously? Thanks all regards.
Heyo ppdemo
The Vcore is just fine. I believe the CPU can handle up to around 1.35v without becoming risky during continuous use. No need to worry.
What’s a suitable Vcore for an i5-3570K @4.ghz? I’m experiencing freezes after an hour of full load testing with prime95, especially on cores 2 and 3 reaching up to 89°C. My current Vcore is 1.304V at 3.9ghz...

CapsLuke you should aim to keep the vcore below 1.4v. Still, it feels like you've had a rough silicon draw. For me, running 3.9Ghz @ 1.304v seems a bit too high, though I'm not sure if that's typical for this CPU. Personally, I use my 4690k at 4.2Ghz @ 1.1v.
Anyway, those temperatures are quite high. Try to keep them under 80°C during stress tests like prime95.
And just to be sure, check if the CPU cooler is properly connected and consider changing the thermal paste.

i finally got my i7 4790 at 4.7 ghz with a 1.270vcore
what do you think about this voltage setting? is it still safe for continuous use?
i look forward to your reply soon.

I hope your reply comes soon.
Yes, the Vcore is still safe to run every day.
No worries, I remember the CPU can handle around 1.35v constantly, though I shouldn't quote me on that.
other question:
what are the best temperatures for idle and full load? The ideal range is around 70°C. You can still do well if you go a bit over 75°C.
