I have an i5 4670k
Asus VI Hero mobo
hx750 psu
corsair xms3 2gb x4 ram
MSI TF 760 GPU
Samsung 840 evo 500gb
500r case Corsair

I mounted the Radiator on top of the case in a push config exhaust. 2x original h100i fans installed

1 Back exhaust 140mm

Then 2x120mm front intake and 1 120mm bottom intake, and a 200mm side intake

Room temp 30C (On the 3rd floor) It is currently summer right now

H100i fans are at 1400rpm

Currently my temps are 38-40C Idle


I have my CPU to 4.4 with 1.26v Temps are around 69-73

4.3 with 1.21v

Any suggestions if I am able to push higher? Should I if I want to keep the CPU for at least 4+years?
 
You could push to 1.3v as long as your temps don't spiral out of control. It is quite warm in your location presently so I probably would stay where you are for now and consider it in cooler weather.

My CPU runs same voltage and speed as yours (h100i) however my ambient temperature is about 18 to 20c and idle of 25 or so.. I'm content with 4.4ghz for now. Maybe after a delid I will take it further.

OP - what are you running your cpu cache ratio at? If you have it at 44, drop it to 40, raise the cpu to 45, and see what that gets you. On my board/cpu, if I try and run them synchronous, it will freeze after about 15-20 minutes of Prime95.

Sometimes people think they need more voltage when they just need to lower that cache ratio, it adds a ton of heat and instability if it's too high, and it seems that you need to have it 3-5 lower than the cpu ratio on many of these chips to get it stable. My system was struggling a bit with stability, I kept adding volts, no bueno. Until I found a guide showing to lower the ratio a bit, now it is BRICK SOLID at 4.5ghz and 1.260 vcore.

The ratio is at 42 right now, it is stable. I might lower it some more if I push to 4.5ghz

Yep this is what I've done too. 44 with mem at 40. 44 just adds heat and needs more voltage it seems.
