4770K needs 1.36v for stability at 4.4ghz (what should you do?)
4770K needs 1.36v to stable at 4.4ghz. What should I do? I want to lower the voltage to reach 4.5 so it can handle my GTX 1080 better. At stock speed it drops FPS, but overclocking to 4.5 requires 1.435v. With 4.4ghz I still struggle with VSync at 144hz while playing Rainbow Six Siege. My room is 16°C with air conditioning. At 1.36v and 4.4ghz it’s around 30-36°C, and gaming temps are 60-65°C.
It seems you had a poor result in the bin lottery, and some of your chips aren't performing well. Try reducing your RAM settings. Check what your RAM is clocked at—adjusting it might help stabilize your CPU.
1.36v isn't that high, it's quite normal when running at full capacity.
65C for an i7 is the top option.
What concerns you? Your system is operating smoothly.
Still, you might consider reducing your RAM slightly to get better performance from your CPU.

65C on the high end for an i7?
What concerns you? Your system is operating smoothly.
Still, you might consider reducing your RAM a bit to get more performance from your CPU.
I found online that 1.3 is quite high (around 4.5 ghz), but I'm getting 1.36v at 4.4ghz with air cooling.
Not every chip is the same. Understanding what triggers a higher voltage requirement is key. If you raise the output to 4.5 while keeping the voltage at 1.3, what will occur?
Not all chips are the same.
What concerns you is why you're increasing the voltage further? What will happen if you raise your OC to 4.5 and keep the voltage at 1.3?
I attempted to run my CPU at 4.5 GHz with a voltage of 1.435V, and I can play R6 with vsync and stable at 144fps. At 4.4 GHz, it works smoothly at 144fps with vsync, but my game stutters at 144fps when using vsync. I've tried setting it to 4.5 at 1.3V, but I always get a blue screen. Even at 1.4V, I have to push the voltage up to 1.435V to keep it stable.
It seems you had a poor draw in the bin lottery. A few chips don’t OC very well. Consider reducing your RAM speed. What’s your clocked frequency? Bring it back a bit—it might help stabilize your CPU. I’m clocked at 1600mhz, and I’ll try lowering it to see if I can reach around 4.5ghz.
I had an FX 8350 that didn’t perform well with 1600 MHz RAM, but at 1333 it worked fine. I’m sure a completely different CPU would be better for you.
