Hey all,
I was thinking about clocking my cpu at higher than 3.7ghz because I recently switched to a really nice air cooler which seems to handle 3.7ghz like a beast. Idle temps hover around 30 and Aida64 stress test settles it at around 45 - 50 degrees tops.

My specs are:
MBO: MSI Z97 Gaming 3
CPU: i5 4690k 3.5ghz
PSU: Corsair TX650M 80+ Gold
RAM: 8GB HyperX Fury
COOLER: Cryorig H7

My cpu is currently set to 3.7ghz at 1.025V I believe, I would like some opinions/help with what values I should set my cpu clock at. I was thinking about clocking it to 4.3ghz but I'm not sure if i should/need to fiddle around with some of the other settings - I'm also not sure what voltage I should set for 4.3ghz - 4.6ghz cpu clock

Thanks

Just go as high as your voltage will allow. Each CPU is different, one with clock completely differently on one voltage vs another.

I'd stick to 1.275v, plug that in (also calibrate your LLC right so your staying exactly in that 1.275v range and not drooping or boosting above or below that when under load).

Then I'd start with say 4.4ghz, run a 10 minute stress test, and then keep going up until unstable.
