i5 4670K Overclock

[Daz-Wilko]

Hey guys and girls,

I have recently overclocked my CPU the i5 4670K and I wanted to check with the community whether its a decent overclock or not as its my first time overclocking.

I have attached a few photos 'apologies if they are poor quality' of my overclock info, from CPU-Z and OCCT. OCCT is what I am using to stress test.

I'm currently stress testing now my max idle temps are 34 degrees celsius and my max stress test temps are 78 degrees celsius.

So I have a few questions:

Are these temps okay?
Is the Core voltage to high or is it suitable?
Is this a good overclock?

And also is there anything you recommend me altering? Or should I keep this overclock and the bios settings as they are?

All your help will be much appreciated

Well, you got another Ghz out of it, so I consider that successfull. Im no expert, but that looks good to me. I cant comment on voltage, temps, or other technicalities, as I have no first hand experience.

how long are you stress testing? if it holds at 78.. then you are good to go.

I dont know if its still used but prime95 is a great stress test.. fire it up and run it for a few hours. If you get no errors and temps are still < 80.. then you are good.

Well I have been testing for just over 3 hours now and I got an error on OCCT. Is this stable enough or should I change the settings around a little until I get no errors or BSOD?

Thanks.

Turning on AVX compat is what makes the temps rocket, you need to make sure you have done all the tweaking in the bios to make sure youre getting the best from your whole rig
