4770k overclock bad chip
4770k overclock bad chip
So i've had this 4770k for a while now and i wanted to overclocking it so i tried it but kept failing.
I kept messing with the voltages and putting it around 1.1V to 1.3V with the multiplier at 42 to 44 and kept failing. so i decided to leave the voltage at auto and it boosted the voltages to 1.4V at 4.2Ghz running kinda stable then i go down .1 for 4.1Ghz and it drops down to 1.192V running stable.
Does this mean i have a bad chip and cant go any further? or do i just keep messing with the voltages for a stable 4.2GHz.
Im using a Corsair 100i with high flow fans and a GA-Z87X-UD4H motherboard.
heres a link of my system

4770k's aren't typically strong original content creators according to online reports. Results vary widely, with more failures than successes. My 4770k can handle 4.2Ghz at 1.25V, but it takes about 1.35 to reach stable 4.3Ghz. Usually, when you hit your peak performance, a significant jump in power is needed to move into the next 100MHz range. Early reviews showed some models reaching 4.6-4.8, but these seem to be select cases. If you look up reviews, you'll find most users aren't achieving those high figures, and 4.2-4.4 likely represents a more realistic average.
