It’s not a great score and there’s still some possible wiggle room but right now it’s in a comfortable spot. New PSU: Corsair RMe 850W Gold 80+ CPU: i7-4790k (Core 1: 4.8, Core 2: 4.8, Core 3: 4.7, Core 4: 4.6) Mobo: Asus Z97-A ATX RAM: 16 GB G Skill DDR3 (OC to 2133 from 1866; any higher and it fails to boot right now) Core Voltage: called at 1.3V Max Temp: 79C (need to delid and redo thermal paste + possibly replace water cooler)
Currently retesting long on Cinebench. Haven’t ran Prime95 yet (will do from a Linux Live USB) but I’m not getting BSODs right now

Aw my first overclock was a 4790k ❤️
I remember my 4790k…that was in 2014.
