Hello everybody!
So I just built my first gaming rig yesterday. I'm an experienced computer tech but the enthusiast/overclocking world is new to me so I'm learning as I go. Before I move on, specs.
Intel Core i5-4670k OC at 4.5GHz Peak Voltage is 1.3 (I believe)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Cooler
16 Gig of DDR3-1600
OS on Kingston HyperX SSD
All else on Seagate 1TB Spinner
Gigabyte SC GTX 770
760 Watt PSU
Asus z87 Pro Motherboard
I was watching some vids on the AISuite 4-way optimization and seeing how it appears to be a pretty safe OC to start out with stability and thermal wise. When I finished running the OC wiz, it popped out the OC value above. After maybe 20 minutes of BF4 gameplay, I noticed CPU temps hit 52C.
Is that considered a fairly safe temp as far as stability and longevity is concerned? I'm not looking to push it to its absolute limits, I just want to give it a bit of a bump while maintaining as mush longevity as possible.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
