1.28v passable for 4.2ghz?
1.28v passable for 4.2ghz?
Hi, three years ago I assembled the PC and last year I upgraded its graphics card. The specifications are: Haswell 4770K (testing OC stability), GTX 1070, DDR3 16GB 1600, MSI Asus Z87 Plus C2, Benq Zowie 2411xl. It came stock and I wanted to slightly increase the GPU frequency. I attempted 4.2GHz from 3.5GHz but stability was poor, causing BSOD. Now I'm stress testing at 1.28GHz at the same frequency. My cooler is an 212 EVO with a max temperature range of 76-81°C, and idle temps between 38-41°C. During gaming it stays under 65°C increase. Is running at 1.28GHz still acceptable as long as temperatures during games remain within that range? Thanks.
My Haswell operates smoothly at 4.2Ghz with 1.1 Volts. It highlights how certain CPUs perform better than others. I've experienced both high-quality and subpar processors in the past.
Your voltage and temperature appear normal. However, if I were you, I'd adjust to 4.1Ghz and 1.25V. A slight performance drop of about 2% wouldn't be noticeable on your system, but it would make the processor run cooler and more quietly.

My Haswell will operate at 4.2Ghz with 1.1 Volts. It just shows how some CPUs are superior to others. I've experienced both "good" and "bad" processors in the past.
Your voltage and temperature appear fine.
However, if I were you, I'd run it at 4.1Ghz and 1.25V. A slight 2% slowdown from 4.2 to 4.1 won't be noticeable on your PC, but it would make the system cooler and quieter.
I've managed 4.1ghz at 1.26v possibly achieving that.
