What Should I Expect Out Of Mine i 4790k

I saw someone on the linus forums claiming to have a 5 GHz 24/7 OC. So i'd say it would be possible, but very rare.

With OP's motherboard and cooling, he would be lucky to get 4.4

I agree that 4.4 is probably what he should expect to get, although if he did manage a 4.5 or 4.6 I wouldn't be totally shocked nor if he only got 4.2. Higher than 4.6 is possible but he'd have to be on the winning side of the silicone lottery.

I had a VI Formula with a 4770K and a H100i and 4.3 was as stable as I could ever achieve.
I sold my 4770k and messed up my mb by putting the dust cover on wrong and bent some
pins on the socket. I handed it in to a pc fix it shop, and they broke off 3 pins.

I sold a guitar, and bought a VII Formula as if I waited for the new X99 boards, my new 4790K CPU
and my Ram would not work in it. I got rid of the H100i and bought a XSPC AX240 WC system.

I am now almost finished with the build, I need one more fan and a adapter plate for the Phobya
200mm Radiator so I can attach the fan. I ordered some M3-55mm screws too, as the shroud
comes with nothing. Once I learn to OC better, I believe I will hit 5.0

Good luck with yours, whatever you decide to do !!!!!!!!!!



Here I was doing my 24 hour leak test. The 200mm rad had not arrived yet.

If it's during load testing thats fine. It'll usually be lower during gaming etc. The CPU will automatically shut down ant 105C to protect itself so anything under that is safe, but i'd be concerned if you were getting into the 90's.
 








This is a Devil's Canyon i7 CPU. At stock settings, no OC, it will turbo to 4.4 GHz, so that speed will not be a challenge!

I would expect a max of at least 4.6 GHz and possibly 4.8 or 4.9 GHz.

I have a stress test running and many other programs at the same
time to TRY and crash my PC. If it can run stable under these
conditions, then just gaming is no problem.

Here are my temps when Im not under 100% cpu and fpu load:
