Hello TH Community, quick question.
I've been experimenting with OC'ing my CPU for some time now. And I was wanting to gather opinions on which OC you would stick with out of the 3 that I have done.
Note: All of these OC's are STABLE. I did stress tests on all of these.
4.5 GHz - 1.19v (30c idle ~ 60-65c full load) (about 50 - 55c gaming)
4.7 GHz - 1.255v (30c idle ~ 65-70c full load) - I get random 1 second spikes up to about 73c then it drops back down. Doesn't happen often. (55 - 65c gaming)
4.8 GHz - 1.32v (30-35c idle ~ 70c-75c full load) - Random spikes up to about 76c for a second then drops back down. Doesn't happen often. (60c - 70c gaming)
I am aiming to get the highest OC possible atm
. My system specs are listed below.
CPU - Intel Core i5-4690k
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 960 4GB Overclocked (1500 MHz Core Clock/3600 MHz Memory Clock)
PSU - Kingwin ABT-850MM 850W Power Supply
RAM - Crucial Ballistix 16gb (1600 MHz)
COOLER - Hyper 212 Evo
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
The CPU was overclocked impressively, maintaining decent temperatures even at full load at 4.8 Ghz.
All these settings seem secure for continuous use; I believe issues won’t appear until about 3 to 5 years later compared to when you first installed the CPU.
With a setup like this, I’d keep the 4.8Ghz boost active. I also don’t mind the noise since I play games at high volume, and I’m comfortable with those temps.
