4670K and Hyper 212X overclocking

[shashankk]

I was able to get my 4670K stable at 4.3Ghz with 1.200 V. My temps are:

Idle - 35C-40C
Prime 95 load - 67-73C

Are these temps ok??? Can i push more into the 80's or should i stop here at 4.5Ghz??

I would stop at 4.5 if youll get there, you can push for the 80's. but your temps and clock are in exelent balance!.

I recommend you personally to let it be this way, you could go 85 but as said, this is really nice. Try to use Vantage as well.

would I see much performance gain with the additional 200Mhz or am I going to get a little bit more performance for much higher temperatures?

You wont notice a thing when you will up it, you already have better then a standard clocked 4770, with these tempratures its going to last and be faster, great sweetspot to be in!.

I have had it stress testing for around 2 hours now at 4.5Ghz and 1.275V. Temps are not above 82C. If this passes it would be great. At least it looks like I don't have a bad chip
