max overclock for core i5 4670k?

[themason2011]

Hi guys,
I got a core i5 4670k and i want to know how high i can overclock it safely with an aftermarket heat sink. Also, can someone recommend a heat sink that will let me overclock to the amount you're talking about?

Thanks, themason2011

i agree, but i don't feel safe mounting the cpu block directly on the die

I always thought it made for more efficient heat transfer

it does, but i've heard stories of people apparently cracking the die due to incorrect mounting pressure

Just need to be more careful then.

I got my 4670k to 4.4 @ 1.16v
But had to jump my voltage to 1.225 to get stable 4.6.

ok i was looking on other forums and someone said that the PH-TC12DX is a good $50 fan, so two questions. One, is it better than the hyper 212 evo, and two, will it fit on a z87-a with corsair vengance ram and a cooler master storm enforcer case?

Thanks, Mason
