Welcome to the Tom's Hardware Intel Overclocking Club!
*****NEW SUBMISSION METHOD***** SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE INFORMATION
In order to be a part of the Intel Overclocking Club, you need to post your overclocking scores and you will be added to the list of the Intel OC Club.
There will be two lists of club members, one with a stable overclock and one that can be unstable(insane overclocking).
General Rules
Only post overclocking related information, don't post your builds here.
Tom's Hardware, myself, Best of Media Group, or anyone else are not responsible for CPU, Mobo or component damage caused by overclocking. Proceed at your own risk!
Must post in following format:
Name:
CPU:
Motherboard:
CPU Voltage:
CPU Bus Speed/Multiplier:
Clock Speed:
RAM:
Cooling:
OS:
An example would be this:
CPU: i7-2600K
Motherboard: Asrock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen 3
CPU Voltage: 1.4V
CPU Bus Speed/Multiplier: 100*48
Clock Speed: 4.8ghz
RAM: Patriot Sector 7 1333mhz DDR3 9-9-9-24-2T
Cooling: Watercooling Loop
OS:Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
CPU-Z Validation: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2426090
Must have a screenshot. (Stability must include CPU-Z and a stress testing program, unstable/insane only needs CPU-Z screenshot/validation)
Stable OC rules
Take a screenshot of CPU-Z next to a running stress testing program (EX: 10 runs of Intel Burn In on medium)
Posts without a CPU-Z Validation next to a stress testing program to verify stability will not be added, but they will be added to the Unstable/Insane Overclocking section.
Unstable/Insane Overclocking Rule
Must post a CPU-Z validation.
Remember, give as much information as you can, so we can identify and add you into the club.
NEW SUBMISSION METHOD
Hi all! Here is a new way of submitting to the club! This makes our lives (Novuake and me) a lot easier!
Fill out this Google form here:

Your name will appear on the unverified section of the spreadsheet, but will be put into the verified section once we see a screenshot/proof.
Thank you all!

Hi i recently build my first ever system from scratch and yesterday i decided to overclock my brand new 4690K. I was reading a little bit on the internet about it and it seemed like no one was able to hit and stresstest 4.7 on only 1.2 volts. While stress testing on Aida 64 my cpu just hits the high 60ties. I also find it strange that my 4th core is always 10 degrees colder than my hotest one. Can somebody please tell me if i have indeed a good OC'ing chip and if it's normal that 1 core can be much colder.
Thanks!
Damn, that is almost too good to be true. And I thought I had a good chip because my 4790k could do 4.7ghz at 1.26vcore and stay in the mid-80s. Have you tried getting to a stable 4.8 yet? I'm having difficulty since it seems I have to increase the voltage by almost 100mv and my cooling just can't keep up with that kind of power.
PS; strangely enough, my 4th core also runs about 10 degrees cooler than the other three.
Thanks! yes i've just tried 4.8 ghz and it's stable on 1.22 volts

Several things will effect core temperature readouts, among them, software used to read sensors, the sensors themselves, load on a specific core, the shape [or imperfection] of the CPU cover, and how well the cooler heatsink matches the CPU cover.
