Wrong setting or is it stable?
I increased my CPU 4670K to 40% overclock, reaching 4.2ghz at 1.120v. Idle temperatures stayed between 20-30% and room temperature around 210°C. During intense gaming sessions, it hit 50-60%, which caused me to halt the stress test. I observed the CPU power package at 144w with a core voltage of 1.307. After running a 3DMark time test, the graphics score was approximately 4200 and the CPU score around 3200, giving a total of 4138. I’m unsure if anything is amiss; should I be concerned? Before this overclock, I couldn’t log games, but otherwise everything worked smoothly—fast boot times, good performance in GTA V, and smooth gameplay in Rainbow Siege.
My specifications include: AMD 24th Gen 140Hz, Freesync, Corsair Clear C400 (140mm intake, 120mm exhaust), H90 AIO CPU kit, 1x 140mm, 1x 120mm, 1x 140mm CPU H90 AIO.
I also used a Quiet Dark Power Pro 10 650W case, Multi rail enabled with true switch, XFX RX480 GTR True OC 8GB, 8 GB Corsair Vegance 1866MHz, and a Samsung EVO SSD 500GB.
System settings were: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Cortana and Xbox removed, base clock applied mode, next boot settings, CPU ratio mode, adaptive CPU ratio, CPU ring ratio mode, auto CPU ring ratio, CPU ring voltage mode at 1.120v, auto ring voltage, ring voltage at 1.100v, memory profile set to 1600MHz with XMP 9-9-9-24, and Intel Smart Connect disabled.
Andrewthegreat shared his experience with overclocking a 4670K CPU. He reported temperatures between 20-30°C during idle and around 50-60% during gaming. During stress tests, the temperature rose to over 80°C, leading him to stop the test. He noted power consumption of 144W and core voltage at 1.307V. A 3DMark benchmark showed a graphic score of about 4200 and a CPU score of 3200, totaling 4138. He was unsure if there was an issue and wondered if he should be concerned. Before the overclock, recording games was not possible, but other aspects like fast boot and performance in GTA V and Rainbow Siege were good. His system specs included an IYama 24" 140Hz AMD Freesync motherboard, Corsair Clear C400, two 140mm fans (one intake, one exhaust), and one 120mm exhaust fan.

I increased the overclock of my CPU 4670K to 4.2ghz at 1.120v. During idle periods, temperatures stayed between 20-30°C (accounting for room temperature). While playing demanding games, it reached around 50-60%. During stress tests, it climbed above 80%, which made me nervous and I halted the test. I noticed the CPU power package was 144W with a core voltage of 1.307V. I ran a 3DMark time test, and the graphics score was approximately 4200 while the CPU score was about 3200, giving a total of 4138. I’m unsure if anything is amiss; should I be concerned? Prior to this overclock, I also struggled to record games, but afterward everything worked well—fast boot times, strong performance in GTA V, and smooth gameplay in Rainbow Siege.

Expect high temps during benchmarking, but you shouldn’t have any worries.
Andrewthegreat shared his experience with overclocking and benchmarking. He used a 4670K CPU at 4.2ghz with specific components and recorded performance under various conditions. The stress test reached high temperatures, and he stopped the test due to overheating concerns. He noted the CPU power rating was 144w with a core voltage of 1.307v, and his benchmark scores were around 4200 for graphics and 3200 for CPU, totaling 4138. He mentioned that while everything seemed fine afterward, the stress test raised questions about potential hardware damage from overclocking.
I adjusted my CPU to 4670K at 4.2ghz with a voltage of 1.120v. During idle the temperature stays between 20-30°C (room temp around 10°C). When gaming, especially intense games, it reaches about 50-60%. In stress tests it climbed to over 80%, so I stopped the test immediately as I noticed the power package was 144W and core voltage was 1.307v. After that, a 3DMark time test showed a graphic score of around 4200 and a CPU score of about 3200, giving a total of 4138. I’m not sure if anything is wrong; should I be concerned? Before making the overclock, I also couldn’t record games, but everything else worked fine—fast boot, good gaming performance in GTA V, and Rainbow Siege performed well too.

Benchmarking can cause high temps, but the stress test reached 80+ in a short time. Also, it went to 1.307v on core voltage without me adjusting it—could this affect my hardware during overclocking? It shouldn’t cause damage.
