What voltage is safe after overclocking an I5 4690k?
What voltage is safe after overclocking an I5 4690k?
I just increased my CPU's clock speed from 3.5 Ghz to 4.0. I didn't want to push it too far, but I set the core voltage to auto and learned it can be risky. During stress testing, the core voltage rose to 1.192v. I'm unsure if that's safe beyond that point, especially under heavy load.
It is always a good idea to manually set the vcore since auto voltage can really fluctuate based on the core load. However I would advice using the maximum voltage reference from your CPU Core Stress Testing (which was 1.192 V) I would suggest you could easily set the vcore probably at 1.1 and then run stress test again to check if everything is fine. But if you are too scared to do anything or not confident enough then I would suggest stick to Auto Tuning.
Remember there is always fun in Manual Tuning
