What should my voltage be for my i7 4790k if it's going to be overclocked to 5.0 ghz

[Jack_Chum]

The title says the majority of it, I have a h110 so what voltage is advised?

The lowest voltage you can keep it stable at! There is no one voltage that fixes it all since it varies from CPU to CPU.

You need to read some overclocking guides. Like rolli59 said, nobody can give you a magic number as the voltage varies from processor to processor.

This is a good place to start:

Other than every CPU being variable for overclocking, for 5 ghz you're putting the cart before the horse as to whether you can even stabilize it for anything under 1.40, with 1.30 volts (mine's 1.32 for 4.7) being the max recommended voltage to begin with. Haven't seen too many 5 ghz chips. Try 4.6-4.7 at 1.25 volts and scale upwards in both frequency and voltage as needed, 10 min OCCT should let you know if you're stable or not.

according to your settings you should go with 1.50 volts.....best of luck....
