Adjusting the i5 4690k to 4.6 ghz
Adjusting the i5 4690k to 4.6 ghz
Hi, I recently got an i5 4690k and an MSI Z97 Gaming 5 mother board. Naturally, I'm looking to oc and have a goal to achieve a 4.6 ghz stable oc. So far I'm at 4.5 ghz stable at 1.24 volts. Everytime I go for 4.6 ghz I get instability with bsod's. I've tried numerous fixes. I started out at 1.25 volts and moved to 1.26 and then 1.27. Still got bsod at 1.27 volts. I've had 0 issues posting and booting. So with that I'm at a crossroads of whether I should try 1.28 volts or if I'm missing something else.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Generally, after overclocking, once the system crashes you add 0.025 volts to the CPU core. That’s what most people do. I followed the same steps as you, but it didn’t work, so I started again. I began at 1v at 4.0ghz and increased to 4.1ghz where it was stable. Then at 4.2ghz it crashed, so I increased the voltage to 1.025v and it stabilized. I should also note I’m using a 4790K, and currently I’m at 4.6ghz stable, nearing 4.7 at 1.29v.
