Hi everyone. As the title says, I´d like to know if my temps are OK for my proccesor OCed to 4.2 GHz with this particular heatskin.

Intel Core i7 4770K (Cooled by a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO)
Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 MoBo
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB SC with ACX
Corsair Vengeance Pro series 2133MHZ - 2X8 GB
WD Blue 1TB 7.200 rpm 64M (later I´ll get a SSD for OS)
EVGA Supernova NEX750B PS
OS Windows 7 or 8 (not decided yet)

There you go. I told you 212 evo can withstand high spikes! But don't let it cross 75'c or so. Then you'll have to go for h100i. Just diagnose it for a few days !

What value is the lowest that I can use? At first, I tried with 1.1 volts, but just got the MoBo screen and nothing else. The system didn´t start.

Updated:
I reduced the voltage to 1.2v and these are my temps now.

Can I go lower (volts) with my rig, for example, 1.15v? Thanks.

I tried with 1.15 and after 5 or more minutes, I got a blue screen. At this moment I´m with 1.18v @ 4.2GHz and it´s stable.
What would be my temps if I raise to 1.2v and set to 4.4@?

First clean your fans and have proper ventilation in the cabinet..
Though I guess 212 evo should saturate that high temp.. And 70-75'c is average for a i7 4770K ..

The highest resistable peak is 100'c.
Yesterday I was working at 98'c and nothing happened !!

-shakes head- absolutely not, even if it can withstand that much heat, you DON'T WANT to make it work under those temps. Get a better cooler like a Noctua ND-14H or a water cooler like the Corsair H100i if you want to keep it overclocked and not burn the chip within a month or less.

I know that temperature is too much (and Yes I buyed 212 evo only !! to keep it down) but I am just telling you that 70 is not too much for a i7 ..
My friend has i7 HP laptop, he has his temp always around 65-70'c .. Now he has not OCd and his laptop is fine. I have seen the situation for 1 year still its running !

It's still not the optimal situation = 3= you must consider getting a more powerful cooler to keep the processor under more acceptable temps., unless you are trying to prove some kind of point by OCing an i7 and keep it with those temps using only the 212 evo.

My temps at 4.2 are normally under 70° at full load with prime95, actually with this cooler (CM 212 EVO) I don´t think going up. I am aware that if I want to reach higher speeds, I MUST change for a LC, like a H100i.
