Will I be able to overclock with these: i5 4690k, MSI Z97S, and Corsair Hydro H50 ?

Jake_103 · Nov 17, 2016

Planning to switch from my amd motherboard and cpu and am wondering whether I'll be able to overclock a decent amount with this. I know this is a relatively common setup so I thought some of you guys might have experience with these products.

I currently have:
WD 1tb HDD
Rosewill Hive 750W 80+ Bronze
R9 280x

I wouldn't recommend getting a 120mm AIO cooler, they work just as good as a good air cooler, such as the Noctua DH15 as an example.

If you get a Noctua DH15 or a cheaper option, the Hyper 212 Evo, then you will most likely be able to get the overclock to around 4.4, 4.5GHz with quite high temperatures, probably around 70-80c.

So yeah, I would recommend getting either the Noctua or the Hyper 212 Evo, if they fit in your case anyhow.

I'm currently using the Hyper 212, it just doesn't seem to be keeping the temp down enough. Maybe it's because I'm using an fx 8350 right now? Do you think I could get it to a stable 4.2 ghz with the i5 4690k?

Cryorig H7 is a much better performer for the price, 120MM AIO's are no match in comparison.

CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($29.90 @ Newegg)
Total: $29.90

A Hyper 212 Evo should handle those clock speeds. The H50 wouldn't be an upgrade.

I see, thank you.
