i5 2500k with hyper 212 evo and 700 corsair psu...
how much can i overclock?

4.4-4.6 GHz is pretty much achievable with that Combo in my opinion.

*Provided Air Ventilation is Properly laid out with Case Fans

And which PSU are you using?

on topic...4.5 would be sweet...keep an eye on llc...which mother board?

mobo gigabyte z68xp-ud3
psu corsair 700w

Old thread ? I can overclock mine to 5GHZ with Core voltage set to 1.33V. On 100% load, ( Prime95 test ) , the max temp was 88C with push-pull config on Hyper 212 EVO.

What bothered me is the System power consumption. The system consumed 273 W at full load while being benched. More than 150-160W alone !!

^^can you show us the llc setting and a cpu-z and hw monitor screenshot?
