Question OC Issues with 4690K

[alexcameron26]

im having a few issues with my 4690K, from what ive read this CPU should be capable of 4.5 to 4.7GHz with the right settings, but mine will not go over 4GHz no matter the voltage it just blue screen at the log in screen for window.

When i do get it to run at 4.4GHz it runs so hot it makes me nervous that its gonna fry itself

im running a Corsair H100i AIO and the cpu is delidded if that helps

and the board is a ASUS ROG Maximus Hero VII

How old is the AIO?

With a CPU (and motherboard) this old, I would start to expect issues especially outside of stock parameters.

Does the CPU perform normally when not OC?

 

[alexcameron26]

AIO is about 5 years old and the CPU and mobo run with no issues with the CPU at 4.0GHz which is 500MHz over stock

 

[punkncat]

AIO age could be playing a factor as well. One would assume the system is clean of dust and whatnot...

 

[alexcameron26]

I'm anal about dust I blow out all the dust with my mini compressor at least once a week

Would probably consider a return to stock clocks and a known working air cooler and see if the system is performing as expected that way.

Can you use a air cooler with a delidded CPU?
