how far could i push this CPU in an overclock...

grav varma · Jul 17, 2014

here is the build:

MSI Z87M Gaming
i5 4670K
gtx 760
samsung 840 120GB SSD
WD 1TB Caviar Blue
Optical Drive
8GB 1600Mhz RAM
5 fans
all to be powered by a Corsair RM 550W

my question is is that power supply powerful enough to comfortably game on this system, and how far could i over clock the i5?

if not very far, how far could i do it with a Corsair RM 650W?

thx

Your PSU will be fine, you're probably looking at more like 300-330 watts with a mild overclock. No one can tell you how far it will get, every chip is different.

There is no way to predict exactly what your OC will be. I got my i5 4670K up to 4.6 GHz. You may get more or maybe less. Just have to try and find out.

Here is a thread that I found to be very helpful: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1722630/intel-god-quick-dirty-guide-4ghz-haswell.html
