i5 4670k @ 4.4 Ghz - any worthy upgrade ?

[Brizzles]

Out of touch with current gen.

Currently running :

i5 4670k @ 4.4 Ghz
16gb Dominator Platinum 1866 memory DDR3
GTX 1070

Any upgrade that would be a benefit in gaming ?

Or should i just hold on to my money

Cheers.

Cheers for the replies

Not much to be gained then for a year or so then.

Might sneak a 2nd 1070 instead if Black Friday is any good

What voltage do you need to get 4.4Ghz stable

1.165v

If you only need 1.165v for 4.4Ghz then I would be overclocking it a lot more than that. You should easily get 4.6Ghz+. Mine needs 1.275v for 4.4Ghz and then it gets silly after that.

Looks like a quality chip, very lucky.

4.8 @ 1.278 boots fine, but falls down after 5 mins of Prime - so not stable.

I'm only changing the multi and upping vcore ( keeping below 1.30v ) - that's the limit of my knowledge and my comfort zone

It did boot briefly at 4.9ghz, but 5.0ghz at 1.32 was a no show, an A2 error on boot.

8pack could probably squeeze 6Ghz out of it
