Bios details are as follows. Running at 4.2Ghz is sufficient for normal gaming and daily tasks, no BSODs observed so far; however, it crashes on Prime95 during startup or after roughly five minutes. Any adjustments would be welcome, I'm really struggling and it's exhausting.

On a note, it would boot at 4.4Ghz with 1.25Vcore, but Prime is unsuitable...
System specs: I7 4770K, MSI Z87-G45, 2x8 RAM CMD16GX3M2A2400C10 (Corona Platinum, 10-12-12-31 @ 1.65V - 2400Mhz), MSI GTX 980, Cosair 650TX PSU

I begin adjusting the ring voltage, this improved my 4670k, which is the i5 model of your CPU. It might assist

I've been doing this at about 1.2 speed for several years now. I'm not an expert, but according to what I've read, it should be fine.

Bump? I still can't get a prime stable working, even though it's really stable for games and so on—it's just fine, with only one BSOD, I'm sure it's not connected to the OC.
