Black screen after OC 4770K
Black screen after OC 4770K
Hello,
I attempted to overclock my 4770K CPU only, without changing any RAM settings, and when I restarted the computer, I encountered a black screen while the system was still operational. After removing the motherboard battery for a short time, it reset properly, but now I'm curious about what might have gone wrong.
I followed this guide exactly as instructed.
My setup is:
- 4770K
- Windows 8.1
- 8GB RAM at 1333MHz
- R9 290 TRI-x 4G
When examining the feedback, "cheap" and "simple" appear frequently.
This device doesn't exceed a frequency of 1333 MHz, meaning it isn't suited for significant overclocking performance.
You need RAM that runs faster, or you can adjust your RAM timings to be slightly slower.
Haswell has its boundaries.

It mentions that when adjusting your CPU's overclocking settings, you can either boost your CPU speed while reducing RAM speed, or increase RAM speed at the cost of CPU performance (there is a trade-off). You haven't specified which RAM model you're using, and it seems your RAM might be quite poor.
The text explains the trade-offs when overclocking CPU and RAM, noting an inverse relationship between the two. It also mentions having Corsair ValueSelect 4GB DDR3-1333 CL9 units and questions their suitability for overclocking.
