Where to go now?

So long story short I changed my case.

With that I changed my loop order, Went from 3 rads to 1 push/pull rad and shorted the travel of the fluids. Otherwise my computer was the same as before.

With the case change comes a drop in my temps, a big drop.

Am looking at 39-40c temp on my GPU running heaven at max 100% usage. My GPU is a 980TI custom bios (Watercooling bios) with voltage pushed to 1.274v and a power target of 121%

My CPU is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.7GHz. Its running at 1.31v volts and during the benchmark it sits around 35-38c (I know it's not CPU heavy but I normally only play games)

I believe that am at the limit of the GPU and CPU anyway to push voltages any higher even with my temps so low, Should I just accept that I wont be seeing over 40c anymore and leave the overclocks?

Cheers guys.

Well I just assumed the safe voltage for my cpu was 1.3 but upon some research ive pushed it up to 1.35v and pushed the cpu to 4.9ghz. Running intels stress test it passed at 63c max temp. However watching the temps they spike really hard going from 53 to 63c in one jump. Any ideas what might be causing the huge spikes? Am going to try new thermal paste to start with

63c max on a 4790k under custom water @1.35v is to be expected without a delid. To be honest, its decent even if it is delidded.

Well it seems 5Ghz is impossible, Even at 1.4v it was still BSOD in intels test so I'll stick to 1.35 @ 4.9ghz.

If temps are okay around the 60c then am happy. Thanks

Yeah, my 4790k does 4.7Ghz at 1.22v which is great, but going above that gets difficult to the point that 4.9GHz isnt stable even at 1.41v

I just run it at 4.7GHz even though its delidded under custom water lol
