Hey people of Tom's hardware.
I recently OC my Cpu, an Intel i5 4690k to 4.3ghz using my motherboards performance settings. The motherboard is an msi pc mate z97.
I read that this method can cause higher Temps due to more voltage. Last I checked the voltage was around 1.2/1.25 and temps at idel fluctuate from 39-45%. I use a cool master evo as a cooler (live in UK so ambient temps aren't too high).
Would I be better off manually reducing the voltage and keep the cores at 4.3 in order to reduce Temps? Or are temps and voltage okay for 4.3 OC?
Many thanks.
