Hello guys. I'm trying to manually overclock my 4690K with my MSI Gaming 5 @4.1GhZ. Using Cooler Master EVO 212 atm. Have a little problem. Usually it is 4100-4100.7 changes every second but sometimes I'm seeing 4099.9-4099.8MhZ like a milisecond at CPUID. Here is my BIOS settings and AIDA. Testing like 7 mins and max degree I got is 64-65. Is anything I need to change?

Also I'm seeing memory clock is 800.2-800.1 and for a milisecond 799.8-799.9

Thanks for helping.

As long as your cores are below 80 in stress test, you are totally fine and more than safe. In real life usage scenarios, they will not get that hot anyway.

then just use "auto tuning" from the bios/MSI utility. IMHO your voltages are a bit high for this mild overclock.
For example my 4770k (with same base clock) on asus z170-a does 4.1 automatically at lower voltages.

how are you running an i7 4770k Socket 1150 on an asus z170-a which is a socket 1151?

Also not every CPU is created equal and some need more voltage then others to get higher OC's

In OC Genie mod, it wants 1.200 voltage for 4.0GhZ, I'm using 4.1GhZ with 1.100 voltage.



Then I have no problems. Can I use it 4.5GhZ 1.225 voltage with H100i v2? I'm refeering this pic I found on ethernet it is not 4690K but 4770K is almost same I think. :

Here is stability test for 18 minutes.

It is 4.1GhZ. Even I bought EVO 212, I can not trust it is enough to cool CPU in summer. I'll try 4.5GhZ with 1.225 voltage when I get H100i v2 I think.

I think it will hit like 70-80c if I try it with EVO 212. Maybe more.

I'm trying 4.5GhZ now. First I just want to try 1.150. Bios won't boot with that voltage.

2nd I tried 1.225. Windows get Blue Screen Crash Without load.
3rd I tried 1.3. Everything is fine.
4th I tried 1.250. Windows boot but after few secs, got blue screen crash.
5th I tried 1.275. Looks like it is okay now. I can see 1.288 voltage on AIDA when I'm trying test. Trying another test for 20~ minutes will post it here.

And got blue screen after 8~ mins. I have to try it with 1.3 voltage and I don't think my EVO 212 will carry this. So can not try 4.5 GhZ this time. Maybe 4.2 or something like that.

4.4 isn't bad, it's what I run on my 4690K. I have an entry level liquid cooler and it doesn't like 4.5 that much, even though I know with some tweaking I could push beyond.

Hi. I'm running my 4690k @ 4.6 with corsair h100i. No problem and the avg temp in my city today was 34 celsius... Room @ 25.
MSI Gaming 5 and corsair vengeance pro @ 1866. You don't need much voltage. Just see where it get's stable and you are ok with it. I think you can push it to 4.4 easily... But watch your temps and keep in mind that most games don't use that testing benchmarks resources...

I have corsair vengeance 2x8 1866 kit. it was easily overclocked to 2100, and may even go further since i have not played with voltages

The 4690k is and i5 Devils Canyon (Z97) CPU and 4770k is an i7 Haswell (Z87). i7s run about 7C hotter than i5s and the DC is slightly cooler running than HW.

Have to ask ? Did you build your PC to run synthetic stress tests or to run games and applications ? Running a synthetic stress test ...

a) tests your CPU under series of single task loads, constantly hammering the CPU with loadings it will never see again in its lifetime.
b) This is designed to create the greatest amount of heat possible which will artificially limit your OC since those loads will never be seen again
c) does not test your CPU in a multitasking environment, you can be synthetic test 24 hour stable and still fail in a multitasking environment.

To address the above, especially after experiencing c), we use an application based benchmark (RoG Real Bench) to test the overclock under real "worse case" conditions running "real applications". In addition to the above, I find that it detects OC instabilities faster than synthetics.

BTW, we also use the offset method for overclocking.

There are many suggestions here. Your CPU will last many years at 1.1 volts VCore. I think that is what you wanted to know.

I have been overclocking for nearly 20 years and have a great deal of experience under my belt.

Your temps are fine as well, anything under 60 degrees C while benchmarking with something like 3DMark and Heaven is outstanding [especially so if using an air cooler] with a room temperature of 21 degrees C.
