4770K isn't stable at 4.5GHz. Assistance needed!
Hello everyone in the forums.
I own an i7 4770K and am trying to keep it stable at a 4.5GHz overclock.
So far I've adjusted the following settings:
XMP profile at 1600mhz (possibly the reason, but I really want to maintain this),
CPU voltage at 1.275v on air using Noctua D14,
Core ratio set to 45 for all cores,
Max cache ratio at 42,
Cache voltage at 1.20v,
System agent voltage offset +0.250v,
Analog and Digital I/O offset +0.195.
I've already fine-tuned the OC dial and it's mostly stable.
I ran Realbench once without any problems and stress-tested it with Aida64 for about 45 minutes, ensuring the BSOD would appear when I shut down my PC.
Current temperatures at these settings stay in the low 70s, and I need advice on other factors that might impact stability without raising the voltage.
Also, my motherboard is the Maximus VI Gene and I have an overclocked GTX 1070.
Adjust the CPU voltage as well. A 4.5Ghz OC would be too high, so consider reducing it.
Ryan appreciates the reply. I see that increasing the voltage could be beneficial, but I need to explore other adjustments without raising it. There are numerous possibilities for ocerclocking that I haven’t tried yet, and I’d like to find out if they could be useful.
