***Intel i7 4790K Owners thread***

probably a little high. Those seem like conservative voltages.
i've got 2 profiles
1) 3900 @ 1.03V which is stable (think IBT/prime couple of hours)
2) 4700 @ 1.29 again stable
for 4.6 i need 1.23, and I know my chip isn't all that good.
You can try voltages yourself and shoot for 4.6, which should be attainable on most 4790k's.

I wouldn't be too worried about a 60ish temp from these chips.
When mine is folding at 100% and the turbo boost kicks in I can hit mid 70's most the time, hot room will hit around mid 80's etc
Chip has taken it since I've owned it. Used to have a H100i on it until the 3rd pump died in a year so binned it and stuck a Phantek TC14 heatsink on it.

Did you not try liquid metal paste on the die? Drops of 20c aren't uncommon after using it.
was a little scared the liquid pro would goon the sides of the cpu.
I had liquid pro between chip and IHS when i was using the IHS, but naked now.
There's Gelid extreme 5 on it at the moment. I might put liquid pro on it, the next time I redo my loop.

i know hot to apply it, watched their video on youtube and i applied it every time on core perfectly, it just takes like 5-10 minutes of me being careful, slow and steady. That or 30 seconds with any other paste that you "strap-on" and just smear a little.
i have a rubber "gasket" on the pcb, and the only thing that sticks out is the core(helps with applying pressure evenly when tightening the screws on the waterblock)

Yeah i always used to make my own spacer to protect the die and cool it directly, but on my z77 board i had before this the stuff around the socket stood too high to allow good contact with the cooler though, so with this z97 i didnt even bother trying it, just threw the IHS back on.
it was 1080p
What sort of problems do you mean?

Currently at 4.9GHZ, 1.29V <70c with an H110i, had it briefly stable at 5.0GHZ but at 1.4V/80-85c which makes me nervous for 24/7. Will boot into W10 at 5GHZ/1.3V hangs during CINEBENCH CPU test...
Any suggestions for breaking 5.0GHZ without upping VCore??? - more HERE

Sounds about right. You need crazy increases in vcore when you are at the chips limits.
I'd drop the idea of running it 24/7 @ 5ghz, and just be thankful you are able to get that sweet 4.9ghz overclock.

Thanks, that's kinda my gut feeling - 4.9 is pretty good at that voltage I think having looked around the interwebs, take Anandtech's table for example

I'm still amazed how their value has stayed up... I bought mine end of 2014 for about £250...
It's the pinnacle of 1150 and just about the fastest you can get without changing your whole platform (mobo, memory etc.) so prices should stay good for a while.
