February 9, 201610 yr What can a i7 4770K be safely overclocked too from factory clock of 3.5 and be stable? With water. Thanks Regards Lamar Wright
February 9, 201610 yr Depends on the CPU lotto. If you have one out of a good batch, there is no theoretical limit. A realistic overclock can be anything from 3.6 to 4.7, depending on voltage, temp, and your CPU. My core voltage limit is 1.3 on a 4790k. <p>Dassault Falcon, Lear, Embraer and Challenger and Cessna Mechanic.Broadcasting live from former Soviet Missile Silo.Rhys Legge

February 9, 201610 yr I've tried to OC the 4790 all the way up to 5.0 but I have only been able to keep it stable at 4.6 which works fine for FSX. I'm not running at fully maxed settings but most are and I'm getting about 30-35 FPS on the ground, approach and landing. I'm happy with the upgrade - not perfect but good enough for simming...
February 10, 201610 yr It varies a lot between batches and individual CPUs. Some barely break 4 GHz while others can reach close to 5 GHz. Only way to find out is to try.I have an early 4770K from mid-2013, that maxed out a 4.3 GHz. After de-lidding I got it up to 4.5 GHz which I've used for the past 2.5 years without issue. -
February 10, 201610 yr Its wide spectra on the 4770K, build a Cad media PC with my old bench CPU its Aida64 FPU stable at 1.2v 4.8ghz with HT on. I run a 6700K for the sim. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54475361/760/4.8-1.2-fpu.png http://
