I7 4790k voltages

stujim · 9 Jun 2015 at 00:06

I'm running my i7 4790k with just the turbo boost enabled as i am not bothered about reaching a higher speed than 4.4ghz. i've set the core voltage to 1.19v to keep temps down. Is this a decent enough voltage? Could i run at a lower voltage?

Drop it and find out m8, every chip is different. I bet you could probably drop it a little yeah. I would just use a negative offset and keep lowering it 0.01v at a time untill its unstable then raise it back up a couple to get it stable again.

ok cheers

Would running occt for an hour, be a good stability test? 64 bits, large data set

Use Asus Realbench, its the most realistic CPU stress test.

Yeah some stress tests are just stupid how much stress they apply, near impossible to get the amount of stress in real life scenario as what these stress tests put on
