Cajon Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have an i5 4690k @ 3.5GHz (stock speed) Some friends of mine have the same CPU but have Overclocked it to 4.0GHz, I was wondering if it would be safe with my CPU fan. It's a CM Hyper Evo 212. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) As long as you keep the eye on temps you should be fine. Obviously the motherboard and PSU must be up to the job too Edited January 26, 2015 by yojo2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066882418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 What about me, how can I OC with a NH-D14, XFX 550W and Z97-P from asus? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066882861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) The mobo is nothing special, I'd stop at 4,2-4,3GHz tops Edited January 26, 2015 by yojo2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066882892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Damn, what Mobo would you suggest me? I only have 100€ for the mobo... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066882904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) TBH I don't think it's worth upgrading the mobo. Try overclocking the CPU on your current mobo first. It's not THAT bad.

arvark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I still didn't buy it. I said 100€ because if I raise the budget for the MoBo I'd have to take a different case etc. Edited January 26, 2015 by arvark Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066882994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 ASRock Z97 PRO4, or more expensive MSI Z97 Gaming 3 or Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066883077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So, I decided to take an Enermax Ostrog instead of the Phantom 240, and I'll go with the gaming 3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066883110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 How will the Z97X SLI (I may need SLI) behave in OC? Can I at least OC to 4.2-3 GHz? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066883413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It's worse than Gaming 3, on par with ASUS Z97-P. Anyway - Gaming 3 supports SLI/Crossfire too. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763930-safe-to-oc/?do=findComment&comment=1066885126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
