I have an i7 4790k on an MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition. I'm using a hyper 212 evo for now. I was wondering how much overclocking I could do on air cooling?
 
Solution
Try to not go above 1.275volts or ~80C. Keep watching temperatures. I got lucky and im able to get my 4790k 4.7ghz at 1.2v. I'm not sure how much you will be able to do.

I get a max temp of 74C at 1.2v. Every chip is different. I have a Phantek TC12DX.
