4770k overclocking headache
4770k overclocking headache
Johnvonmacz responded to Bolislet, who then replied to Kamen_BG. Bolislet expressed disappointment about not getting a 4770K and noted that most units are similar. He mentioned reviewers received good samples and questioned why he expected such performance from a Core i7 3770. He recalled seeing good 4770Ks but hadn't seen anyone needing 1,357 volts for 4.5GHz and 1,45 for 4.6GHz. He shared his experience with a previous PC that ran from 3.0GHz to 4.4GHz for five years, with overclocking up to 1.4GHz. He stated that a 4770K would only reach up to 1.0GHz and that using a per-core voltage increase could cause issues. He also provided a voltage reference of 1.235V for 4.3GHz OC and mentioned concerns about increasing voltage beyond 1.3V.

You didn't purchase a terrible 4770K.
Most units are similar to that.
The reviewers only got quality samples.
You didn't think you'd get something as fast as a Core i7 3770, right?
No, I didn't expect it to reach speeds like a Core i7 3770.
You should have been expecting something close to 4.5Ghz, not 1,3 volts.
I've seen excellent 4770Ks, but no one needed 1,357 volts for 4.5Ghz and 1,45 for 4.6.
With my previous PC I had an e8400 (I can't compare), but it operated from a stock 3.0Ghz to a 4.4Ghz and lasted five years straight. The overclock reached 1.4Ghz. A 4770K can't exceed 1.0Ghz. That's disappointing.
At least your CPU can reach 4.5Ghz, but my 4770K is a waste of time. The top it can hit is only 4.3Ghz, but with all cores synced to 43, it still crashes at BSOD.
At what voltage?
Around 1.235 volts for a 4.3Ghz overclock.
Some suggest raising the voltage, but I'm worried it could damage the chip if I push it to 1.3 plus.
It won't. I've already tested 1.5 volts and it didn't fail
Because you misread yours.

12-26-2023, 01:11 PM #13Johnvonmacz shared his thoughts on the situation, noting that most units are similar. He mentioned reviewers received quality samples and expressed surprise at achieving such high speeds with a Core i7 3770. He recalled his previous PC's performance, which ran smoothly from 3.0 GHz to 4.4 GHz with stable overclocking. He highlighted the limitations of the 4770K, which he believes cannot exceed 1.0 GHz even with overclocking. He also discussed the voltage requirements and his experience with 1.5 volts, which did not cause any issues.

Most of them are like that.
The reviewers just got good samples.
Didn't you expect it to reach as high as a Core i7 3770?
No, I didn't, but I was hoping for a batch that could at least hit 4.5ghz under 1.3 volts.
I've seen very good 4770K's but haven't seen anyone needing 1,357 volts for 4.5ghz and 1,45 for 4.6.
With my last PC I had an e8400 (I know I can't compare them), but it ran from a stock 3.0ghz to a 4.4ghz which lasted 5 years straight. Overclocking reached 1.4ghz. The 4770K can't go beyond 1.0ghz. That's disappointing.
At least your CPU can reach 4.5Ghz, my 4770K is a total loss. The max it can hit is only 4.3Ghz but using a per-core 43, 43, 42, 41. If I sync all cores to 43, it still BSODs no matter what I do.
At what voltage?
4.3Ghz per core OC means 1.235v
Some say to raise voltage but I'm worried if I push it to 1.3+v my CPU might fail lol
It won't. I've already tested 1.5v through mine and it didn't die :lol:
Because you misread yours
😀
I ran 1.45v on stock tim
Wow, you've got a pretty solid chip. Anyway, I tried your Overclocking Guide and it works! Not at 4.4Ghz but at 4.3Ghz with 1.3vcore, what do you think?
Anyway, I'm going to post some bios pictures and could help you adjust settings. Thanks INTELGOD. Some settings are tricky and their names vary on different boards lol

Johnvonmacz replied to Intel God multiple times, discussing performance expectations, voltage requirements, and overclocking experiences. He shared personal observations about CPU capabilities and compared them to other models, expressing disappointment with the 4770K's limitations. He also mentioned trying overclocking and received advice on voltage settings, seeking help with BIOS tweaks.
Johnvonmacz shared his thoughts with Kamen_BG, noting that most units were similar. Reviewers had received quality samples, and he wasn't surprised to see high performance. He mentioned expecting a CPU that could reach at least 4.5Ghz under 1.3 volts, recalling good 4770K models but not seeing anyone needing such high voltages. He compared his previous PC's E8400, which ran smoothly from 3.0Ghz to 4.4Ghz for years, and expressed disappointment that a 4770K couldn't exceed 1.0Ghz. He suggested overclocking could help but warned of potential issues. He also highlighted the possibility of achieving 4.5Ghz with proper tuning, while pointing out that ASUS BIOS might affect stability.
Johnvonmacz responded to several comments, noting that most CPUs in the 4770K line are similar. Reviewers had received quality samples, and he wasn't surprised to see high performance. He mentioned expectations for a processor capable of at least 4.5Ghz under 1.3 volts, recalling good 4770K models but not seeing anyone needing 1.357 volts for that speed. He shared his experience with a previous PC (e8400) that ran smoothly from 3.0Ghz to 4.4Ghz for five years, with occasional overclocking to 1.4Ghz. He expressed disappointment that the 4770K couldn't reach more than 1.0Ghz and warned against exceeding 1.3 volts to avoid damaging the CPU lifespan. He also discussed voltage requirements, suggesting around 1.235V for overclocking per core and cautioning against going beyond 1.3V to preserve CPU health.
So how should I begin when ignoring an i7 4770k? I usually just use my motherboard with an Asus 4 overclock. I’m seeing readings around 4.3, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, and it says it’s at 4.3 overclock. I haven’t had any issues lately, though I remember it was a bit unstable before. I just hope I didn’t choose the K version and saved myself some money. All this stress about overclocking is a bit much.
