i insteld a new cpu cooler the nepton 280li can overclock my i7 4790k to 4.6ghz 34c and vcore voltage 1.02but when i over clock to 4.7 i get 50c 1.42v how do i fix it?
 
take that 1.42v and start working it downward by testing and saving. you know it works at that crazy high voltage. start by lowering it to 1.32v and see if it will handle a serious stress test. drtoast is absolutely correct, turn off auto voltage to do all of you work. when you get your lowest stable voltage, you can work other voltages on the chip, like your cache voltage. be careful if your lowest stable voltage is over 1.3, you may want to rethink your 4.6 overclock. I personally want lower voltage, due to temps and longevity. the 4790k is very fast, a few tenths of a ghz isn't going to make or brake my ability to run software, so I'm not sweating it. btw, I didn't get the best or the worst chip, it's somewhere in the middle and there's not much more to say.
 


Your voltage stays the same?
You did change the core voltage from adaptive to static? You can fiddle with the number, but only changing it to static mode will truly give you control of it. If you did change it to static, and the chip truly needs 1.42 to get 4.6 then you've gotta drop the over clock down and get the volts under control, unless you're ok with replacing the chip in less than a year.
50C at 4.6 isn't bad, but once again that voltage is way too high. Get your voltage under 1.3 no matter what you do, or that chip will die alot faster than otherwise.
 


are the temps when under load or at idle? if under load , there may be nothing wrong. at idle, they seem high. is your cooler properly attached to the cpu, running and have coolant? if the cooler is not the problem, some mb have an option to reset all settings to their default. others you can restore defaults by removing the cell battery. consult you mb manual.
