4.4Ghz at 1.370V good enough ?

[ggffee]

I just overclock my G3258 to 4.4Ghz on a Asrock Z97 Pro4 at 1.370V. Is that a good overclock ?(temp never go above 75*C while heavy gaming)

4.4 Ghz should be achievable with around 1.25V

Keep dropping the voltage a notch or two until it crashes, then bump it up 2-3 and you should be fine.

4.6 HERE WITH 1.32V

I tried but the CPU đon't want that, every thing under 1.370V is unstable.

Unfortunately that's the luck of the draw.
I've always been lucky to get chips that can OC and undervolt.

Looks like you've reached what your CPU is capable of. Temps are within range, so it's all good.

I guess i had lost in the silicon lottery.🙁

If you will be upgrading soon 1.37V is not a threat, however if you want your CPU to have a generally decent lifespan i would recommend 1.31V or less.

Don't feel bad some have had very poor results , it's a lottery like you said.

Your results are decent.

I'll replace it with a i5-4690k soon. What cooler should i use when i have the i5.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I'm using the Cryorig H5 .

I think so. Thank a lot.

Mild Overclocking = Hyper 212Evo
High Overclocking = NH D15, Nepton 120XL

I'm using the Cryorig H5 .

That's a great cooler in my opinion although it too high for my case. I think i will buy a H100i.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Best budget cooler is the Cryorig H7.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

H100i is a good Closed loop.

It look fabulous but it only have 3 heatpipe, i think the Xigmatek Aegir will be beter ( it a little bit higher though)

I think i'll take it.

I was thinking that's a pretty high voltage for that overclock. My 4690K is at 4.6GHz at 1.282v and it's stable but at 4.7GHz it crashes. I'm a little afraid to go beyond 1.3v but I'd like to see 4.7GHz.
