I have an h80i in my seiran case with one fan in front and push pull on the exhaust radiator. I used artic silver thermal paste on the heatsink. how much can I safely overclock with my MSI Z87 - gd65 gaming motherboard? and it would be awesome if it was a step by step suggestion on everything I need to do to do it safely.

Ask if you would like more info

Plenty of step-by steps out there.

My results: 1.2894 core voltage, Vin 1.8, LLC level 1 got me to 4.3Ghz. Highest temp I have seen lately is 71C. (My old config ran a lot warmer and hit the mid 80s)

My chip isn't a very good sample, I need quite high voltages to maintain stability. Above 1.25 and the chip will start getting fairly warm.

mine is a 4790k, i know its a little different but i run 1.2 volts, multiplier 46, speedstep enabled. You might wanna start at about 1.26 volts and start your multipier at 42 and move up until you crash. I usually run intelburn first for a quick check, and if it passes run prime95 for an hour.

Just keep in mind that intelburn is an unrealistic load and that prime 95 will run 7-10 degrees cooler.

I also use realtempgt to monitor temps.

I test with OCCT. It will stop the test when the cpu reaches 85c.
Let it run until the temperature stabilizes.

Gradually increase the multiplier. Leave all else on auto. Stop when your vcore reaches 1.25v to 1.30v.
Past that, heat rises exponentially. Your cooler may cope, but high vcore is not good for 24/7 operation.
