i'm using the i5 4670k at 4.2ghz with 1.200v, and it's running smoothly after a 6-hour burn test. nothing went wrong? can i try overclocking further?? my setup includes msi z97s sli krait edition, a cooler master hyper n620 with dual fans, and excellent case airflow.

Is the maximum it can reach at 1.2? Have you experimented with 4.3? If that’s the case, it works well for your CPU. All 4670Ks operate differently, running at various speeds under different voltages. For example, during some testing on a 4770K, I found the following link helpful: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/06/0...3NxYesrJD_

Tradesman1 is asking about performance limits and testing results. They mention trying different speeds and voltages, referencing a specific article about overclocking Intel processors. They also shared their experience with 4.2ghz at 1.15v and switching to 1.2ghz for stability.

Within limits, voltage isn't as crucial as temperature. What are your temperatures? If they're normal, it's safe to hit or surpass 1.300V (though I'm not sure).

I had to set it to 1.230v to function at 4.3ghz temps, which are 47 idle and max 66-67.
Is that acceptable?

Idle remains elevated, but you can reduce it with an Adaptive Overclock if your BIOS permits. The maximum is fine, but a slight drop would help. I think your cooler isn’t performing optimally.

DonkeyOatie suggests adjusting the overclock to lower settings if the BIOS permits, noting that the current temperature is too high. They mention a cooler issue and describe their experience with overheating at 4.4ghz, crashing after a short time.

This guide is a good overclocking resource. With proper cooling and a solid chip, I anticipate reaching 4.5 to 4.6 GHz.
I’d need to check your BIOS settings for more assistance.
What type of memory are you using? I used 2400Mhz to achieve a top 4.8Ghz overclock.
