Zalman 9000max Overclocking

[PCNoob2556]

Hi guys,
Recently completed my build using the zlaman 9000max to replace the Intel stock cooler (i5 4670k) I was wondering if anyone had any past experience with this cooler and how far it would be safe to overclock with it (800w psu).
Thanks,

Note: would it be possible to get to 4.4ghz?

Edit: Curent temps at full load are 35 Dgrese c

No two processors are the same so you cannot expect to achieve what someone else has. But I would say slowly bump up the multiplier and after every time you do that stress test your build to see if it is stable at that clock speed and then continue bumping up your multiplier. And once you reach a point where your build freezes bump up the voltage by .025 and see if is stable then. If it isn't than bump the multiplier down .5 until it is stable. You may be able to hit 4.5Ghz. I dont think it is very likely on air but you will should be able to get past 4Ghz a little.

Using Prime95 and coretemp, the temps at max load are 81 c, with the cpu running at 4ghv, it is the middle of summer right now, are those temps safe?

I think they are, I have and AMD 8120 so I am not 100% on what temps are safe for intel. But I think that if you stay below 90c you will be fine.

it's 80C for intel.
