hello guys , i am fairly new to cpu overclocking and i just want more feedback, opinions and reassurance on my overclock. before everything else , here are my specs :

motherboard: asrock h97m pro4 ( yes its an H model . i just found out recently i can OC with it :) )
CPU : intel i5 4690k OC @ 4.4 ghz
cooler : CM hyper 212 evo
GPU : evga gtx 970
PSU : evga nex750b 750w

so heres my situation :
i have OC'd my cpu to 4.4 ghz @ 1.190 core voltage. the stress test program i am using currently is aida64. i have ran aida64 for 40min and has not failed me yet ( im aware at most times i am supposed to run it for 4 hours , but sadly i cannot stay on my PC for that long and i am afraid of leaving my pc running without me being present ) so far i have not throttled on this set up
so far here are my results :

mini max average (in Celsius)
CPU: 29 63 59.8
core1: 29 70 59.7
core2: 26 66 56.3
core3: 27 64 55.1
core4: 26 60 52.0

so is this a good overclock ? are the temps good ? thank you in advance!

thank you for that reply ! but i am just curious , most of the time i see people OC'ing with the hyper 212 evo with over 1.2+ voltages specially at 4.4 ghz , am i doing it wrong ? should i increase my voltage ?

Voltage = heat, so you never apply more than is necessary to achieve stability.

Please read this overclocking Guide: 3 Step Guide to Overclock Your i7 / i5 Haswell Platform - http://www.overclockers.com/3step-guide-to-overclock-intel-haswell/

AIDA64 is good for stability testing, but Prime95 version 26.6 Small FFT's is best for thermal testing, so you can get a solid baseline benchmark.

Section 13 in the Intel Temperature Guide explains how to do it.

Please click on the link I provided for you above and read the Guide.

Thanks,

so there is no pros in increasing my voltage atm as long as it stays stable at current voltage ?

also , isnt prime95 bad for haswell cpus though? i tried it before and reached 99 =/ .

(1) Once again, voltage = heat, so you never apply more than is necessary to achieve stability. Is this in any way unclear?

(2) Do NOT run any versions of Prime95 later than 26.6. Here's why:

Core i 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation CPU's have AVX (Advanced Vector Extension) instruction sets. Recent versions of Prime95, such as 28.5, run AVX code on the Floating Point Unit (FPU) math coprocessor, which produces extremely high temperatures. The FPU test in the stability testing utility AIDA64 shows similar results.

Prime95 v26.6 produces temperatures on 3rd and 4th Generation processors more consistent with 2nd Generation, which also have AVX instructions, but do not suffer from thermal extremes due to having a soldered Integrated Heat Spreader and a 35% larger Die.

Please download Prime95 version 26.6 - http://windows-downloads-center.blogspot.com/2011/04/prime95-266.html

Run only Small FFT’s for 10 minutes.

Use Real Temp to measure your Core temperatures, as it was designed specifically for Intel processors: Real Temp - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2089/real-temp-3-70/

Your Core temperatures will test 20C lower with v26.6 than with v28.5.

i have done my research and ive read a lot of threads from this forums , mind you. what i wasnt sure was that all the posts i have read have over 1.2 Vcore @ 4.4 ghz , which made me wonder if i am doing it right ( mine being at 1.190 vcore) so i was looking for a more specific answer regarding to my own situation since i wasnt sure if going lower than 1.2v would have a negative effect or not. even though my pc is stable , it wouldnt hurt asking yeah ? :)

but anyways thank you for your time and patience sir !!

You're welcome!

Every processor is unique in it's overclocking potential, voltage tolerance and thermal behavior.

At a given frequency, processors which run stable at a lower Vcore are typically capable of overclocking higher.

Yours appears to be a little better than others. Count yourself lucky. :D

I achieved a 4.4ghz OC with the EXACT cpu and cooler

my settings were:

Clock: 100
Multiplier: 44
Voltage: 1.25

Overnight stress test using intel burn test (5000 passes)


I also achieved a 4.5 but it got too hot but feel free to try it

Clock: 100
Multiplier: 45
Voltage: 1.28
