Hey,

What are some good limits to stay under when going for a longterm OC?

Currently testing 4.4ghz with 1.265v and 65c temps. It failed at 1.25v after about 10 minutes in Intel XTU stress test.

I'm using a msi z87m-g43 board so don't have access to many settings, no ringbuss volts etc.
 
What cooler you using?
Sounds about right to me, I'm guessing you need a fair bit more vcore for 4.5ghz?
I run [email protected] for normal usage. It down clocks + down volts when its not doing much anyway
 
noctua nh-u12p se2 with both fans currently on 7v.

Wasn't really after a big OC, 4.2+ is fine with me but might as well see what it does to know it's limits. Currently running with 34x cache ratio, and vcore in override mode, memory at 1600 with xmp.

Well it's passed 45 minutes of intel xtu stress test @ 1.265v, max temp was 68c on core 0.
 
ouch, trying Aida64 fpu test it hit 77c after 30s. I think I'll back it down to 4.2 for now and just work on lowering voltages.
 
I run mine at 1.295V 24/7. The chips are safe on air up to 1.35v.

Stress test temps do not matter. If you never run to high temps when doing any game, or using any programs, why does it matter what a synthetic test gives? 4670k can run up to 92c, but it's not recommended to go over 70 in everyday usage.

The chip downclocks 90% of the time you use the PC anyway (unless you game 24/7), so most of the time you won't be using it's max voltage.
 
1.3v 24/7 air.

1.35 24/7 on water.

Dont bother with synthetic stress tests use your PC to test stability.
 
cool, I'm just finding the min volts needed to get 4.2 then 4.3 stable to see where the ramp up is on this chip.
 
min volts!!! No one cares about that man.

Just use a safe voltage around 1.25-1.275 if its stable move on!! Dont waste time with tuning at 4.2 and 4.3 we are overclockers!!!
