can I overclock?

[huss4in]

I'v got i5 4690K for the cpu and for the cpu cooler I'v got CM hyper 212 evo
my questions are, can I overclock the cpu to 4.2 ghz with the stock thermal past? and if I can, how much do you think the temperature of the cpu could reach?

 

[rgd1101]

every cpu is different.

that stock paste is fine, you should get a lot more than 4.2ghz out of it.

what temp could it reach if I overclocked it to 4.2 ghz?

idk, it depends on how much vcore you apply. typically around 60C for stress testing.

is 60C bad for my cpu?

These questions can be answered by reading a OC guide.

Before you start overclocking, read, read and read some more. If you have any questions ask.
