Safe voltage for 24/7 on 4770k? I have the big Noctua aircooler

the default, dumb overclocking nigger

1.35v is a very safe voltage for 24/7 usage, especially with the good poo cooler.

He's been jewed for the k version already, might as well overclock. The possible issues coming with it are no problem for non-professional usage, shitposter.

>>60690028
I thought the K version was usually roughly the same price as the non-K. Maybe like +-$10 depending on where you shop.

At least it was when I got my 2600K.

1.5V
And now go and install gentoo

12 V, don't be a pansy

>Noctua

What's with all the faggy Noctua mentions and threads the last week? Have they recently hired a shadow marketing company to shill their ugly colored over-priced fans?

Why do processors have so low voltage?
Can't we just put 12V in there to make it faster?

>>60689868
for i7 4770k and 4790k the safe max voltage is 1.35
i'd keep it at 1.3 or 1.25 if possible

>safe max voltage is 1.35
while thats true 1.4 won't kill your cpu as fast as people would like to believe, there are also alot of examples of this on overclock.net

intels cpus dont really degrade fast until you pass 1.45v but there isn't really any testing done on this as it would take years to get results on degradation, even if the time for the cpu degrading is much faster at 1.35 versus 1.45
your cpu will die in 5 years instead of 8, big woop.

>>60689868
Depends on the unit but 1.3v should be. 1.4v is sort of an extreme value. Your mileage will vary between these two in terms of temps and clock speeds.

>>60690852
well, my limiting factor is the temperature.
High 80s under 100% load. isnt exactly my comfort zone.

>>60689868
Just gonna throw this out there, but processors will only actually die from too much current. The cooling doesn't matter as long as the chip doesn't go past tjunction max, at which point it would trigger a thermal shutdown of the system anyways (in theory). The only way heat will generally kill a part is if it is constantly cycling from low to high temps nonstop, and then it would still take quite some time to die. The amount of current running through your chip will almost always matter more than your cooling solution. Also because haswell used a FIVR, we don't know the real limits of the chip but 1.35v is generally assumed to be safe. The only thing we have from documentation about safe voltage is a list of hex codes that represent how the CPU reads voltage internally, and we can only assume anything over what it was meant to read is likely unsafe.

Use offset voltage mode and negative that shit as much as possible until it crashes. Lower volts = lower temps.

>>60690828
Yes. 4790k is the only CPU I've ever seen die in 20 years. Be conservative

Fucking this
