Hello everyone
I'm in need of some assitance on overclocking my Intel i7 4930K from it's stock speed of 3.4Ghz to around 4.2-4.5Ghz.
I'm especially looking for a safe overclock so I can keep using this system without problems for another 5 years.
I've read in some other topics that if you can reach 4.5Ghz you can consider yourself lucky.
The minimum I would like to reach is 4Ghz since I have a good all-in-one water cooling kit and a high-end motherboard.
I've tried putting in 42 for the CPU core ratio and then syncing all cores and putting in 1.35V for the Vcore and 1866Mhz for my ram (it's rated for 1866Mhz by default) with ram timings of 9-10-9-27. But when I then run Prime95 Blend my temps in Realtemp skyrocket to around 90°C...
Can anyone guide me on what other settings I should tweak in order to reach 4 - 4.2Ghz fully stable?
So far I only have experience with overclocking Intel dual cores E6750 & E8400 using Gigabyte's M.I.T which is way less advanced than the Rampage IV BIOS.
My motherboard is an Asus Rampage IV Black Edition with BIOS version 0507.
Here's a CPU-Z validation link: http://valid.x86.fr/bfm948
My full system specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4930K
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i
Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Black Edition (BIOS version 0507)
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR3-1866Mhz CL9 quad kit
GPU: Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 Ti IChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra 3GB
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 1TB
HDD 1: Hitachi Deskstar 7K4000 4TB
HDD 2: Hitachi Deskstar 7K4000 4TB
ODD: LG BH16NS40
PSU: Corsair HX1050
Case: Cooler Master Storm Trooper Window
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Thanks to anyone who can help me out with this
