Hi,

I have MSI Z97 Gaming 5 + i5 4670K with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO + 2x4Gb G-Skill 2133 and PSU Corsair CX-600W +80. I´m thinking OC my CPU when i receive my MSI R9 280X but need help with it :)

Can anyone tell me best OC for this CPU? Stable and save.
 
Solution
4.4Ghz. Start at 1.22V, if not passing Prime95 torture test with CPU @ 100%, up voltage by [0.01V] until there are no issues, no need to go above 1.3V.

What I mean by pass is no screen flickering and no Crashing of system. Make sure you monitor your max temp when running Prime95!

Thank you.. I already have my 280X i buy Gigabyte Windforce OC Version is a good choice? for now is a very good card but is better than MSI?

I have CM Hyper 212 Evo and Arctic Freezer 13 Pro who is better? With 212 EVO i have 60º playing without any OC.... high temps no? I never test freezer 13 Pro in this CPU.

ya, with prime95 good but when iam playing got BOSD... I need to find better setting, for now i put default with XMP profile its working at 3.8Ghz and mems 2133Mhz.

Tell me something... i Put in bios 1.24V but in CPU-Z when run Prim95 says 1.265v why have more than i want? In Bios have many options Auto, Adptive, Adaptive+Offset, Override, Override+Offset, etc..wich one i choice?

Can you tell me good cooler for my CPU? (not expensive lol)
