Assist in boosting performance of i7 3770k with IBT issues
Hi, I encountered an issue with the IBT test.
I successfully passed with a clock speed of 4.5Ghz, but experienced a crash at 4.6Ghz.

There are issues with the settings you're applying. The voltage is too high for the 4.6ghz frequency, causing the core temperature to rise to 85°C. Begin by adjusting the temperature of your 3770K directly. Set your memory manually and lower the speed to 1600mhz from 2133mhz, using timings like 8,8,8,24 or 1T (note that M/B labels Command Rate). Also, set your DDR3 slot voltage to 1.50v. This should reduce CPU heat. Make sure the BIOS has the correct speed displayed—either 4500mhz or 4600mhz instead of the current setting.

Turning off Hyper Threading will reduce your temperatures and boost IBT speed, which you'll notice as shorter times per test. Running with Hyper Threading demands higher voltage compared to when it's turned off; for optimization, it's preferable to find a stable OC without HT enabled before determining the extra voltage needed for consistent HT operation.
