I'm running a i7 4790k (H100i GTX), Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3-1866 CL9, EVGA GeForce GTX 980 FTW on a 256GB Samsung 850 Pro. Windows 8.1 64bit. Do I need to install all the hot fixes and utilities etc.? I just want to install what I need. Thanks!
Yeah 4.8 was real stable with 1.35v, maybe if I need -MORE POWER- I will bump it up to that in the future... Thanks for all your help man I really appreciate it!
4.9 with 1.4v failed few seconds into realbench. 4.8 was good down to 1.350v. But I really want to keep the core voltage below 1.3 for power consumption, heat and life span. 4.6 with 1.25v is real stable and temps stay below 70c.
Those ivy bridges can take a beating. I had my sandybridge a full ghz over stock turbo. Haswell's don't like to be overclocked they didn't leave much head room at all. Some people get lucky with them though and hit the silicon lottery. So far this is...
