Hey guys just wondering if you could tell me this is a good cpu to achieve my overclock results.
49x multi
1.32v
4.9GHZ
did a stress text over night 100% stable. I've used prime 95 and Intel stress test.
Temps don't reach 80, max I've got was 79, idle around 32. I think this is due to the computer being under the desk to be honest. If I move it to a different place I reckon I can get the temperatures much lower. Running H110iGT.

Memory is Kingston hyper x fury running at 2100MHZ

Looks good to me though I would recommend using Realbench for any kind of stress testing as much better test of stability. Personally I encode and game at the same time.
 
Just watch the temps. Keep them in the 70's. If you're cooling is up to it then you can run up to 1.4v. Though I would recommend keeping it in the 1.3's if you can and see how far that will take you.
 
Changed my cooler to the H110iGTX max temps now 60, and idle is 25-28. amazing cooler. What do you reckon...should i delid to push to 5GHZ? I can boot into windows at 1.39v but it isnt stable to load any programs.

H110GTX can cool well but oh the noise that comes with that...
I know guys who had run 1.45v through SB for years without deterioration but they are using off-set method to overclock (so only using 1.45v under full load) and temps were good (high 60's low 70's at most).
I found that each 100Mhz increase needed ~0.03v so you might need ~1.43v to get 5Ghz stable.

Yeah I agree the noise is on the highside. I do have a push/pull configuration.
I first overclocked at a constant 4.9GHZ but couldnt see the point of it so now it's set to offset 4.9GHZ. When I was running constant 4.9GHZ idle was just slightly higher.

Hmmm, am not sure if am comfortable with 1.45v seems abit high tbh

Which is why I recommend you see the highest that 1.4v can take you and stick at that. I am giving you just anecdotal experience. I've known of guys running nearer to 1.5v on SB with no ill effect but I would never sanction going that high even for offset 24-7.
 
Apparently the maximus VI extreme can squeeze every bit of it out, so i was hoping i could hit 5GHZ without upping the vcore higher than 1.4v. HOwver some options on the board make absoutle no sense to me. I have a feeling the bit that i dont understand are for LN overclockers
 
Thats fantastic for 4.9 m8, i would be very happy with 1.32v and if your only hitting 80 in prime95 then for general use its gonna be way lower.

I would get saved in your bios and start messing with your graphics clocks :)
 
I doubt that your cpu has degraded. It was probably never really stable to start with.

You see this all the time, screenshots of benches at silly low voltages only to find that the owner revels that it now needs more volts.

My 4790k was only ever stable at 4.6 but it would pass a few benchmarks at 4.7.

Use real bench to test your over clocks.
