hey guys, the new devils canyon is out, has been for a little while anyway.. swapping over to that i5 from my FX 8350 and going with a z97 MSI Gaming 5 mobo, should be decent :) 

BUT..

Am I going to be able to overclock this chip a little? it's set at 3.5ghz and I know for a fact thats gonna hold my R9 290 back when playing games.. so what can it really go up to? :S bit paranoid about switching to since I've been with AMD for quite some time now and no all the silly stuff like the back of my hand, so gonna switch to intel from AMD. AMD is just plain and simply annoying me now since I've heard the Intel are all around better..

I shall be sticking a h105 on my i5 when I get it.. but yeah, how far do these chips go?

Cheers

i have overclock i5 4690k to 4.4ghz on stock voltage with over 4 hours on prime 95 all stable, with msi gaming 7 and corsair h100i.

its tested so go for it. i dont think msi gaming 5 -7 will make diffrence in oc. Also oc genie 4 oc's the cpu to 4ghz automaticaly.

edit: after 4hours on prime 95 cpu tempratures was no more than 63C maximum.

Oh nice man, yeah alot of people being saying it sits nicely at 4.4ghz.. I'm happy with that if that's the case, have you had your 4690k any higher stable?

Are you actually comparing in your mind the frequency of an fx and basing a comparison on that
to an intel cpu?

4.4 is enough for me. Also i have no experience in voltage tweak, im not stepping into it yet.

edit: at 4.5 pc wouldnt boot. so 4.4ghz im happy

I seriously doubt that chip at stock will hold your graphics card back.
Overclocking will only show a difference if you are running a pair of GTX780's, or similar graphics cards.
