BSOD during CPU voltage adjustments

Hi, today I attempted to raise my i5 3570k OC to 4.6ghz. It was 4.4 at 1.26v with auto mode enabled. I adjusted the voltage to 1.29 but still encountered BSOD. I tested various settings from 1.26 to 1.30, but only booted with 1.34 or higher (or set auto which gave me 1.45). What should I change? I don’t think it’s too bad. I have an Asus P8Z77-V with a Corsair H100i gtx.

if you get it to boot on a higher voltage, then its obvious that it needs that extra power for your OC. if your temps are ok on the higher voltage then there is no problem.

The i5-3570K running at 4.4GHz and 1.26V performs adequately. Be aware that the Ivy Bridge used had low-quality thermal paste between the IHS and the CPU die, which limits its ability to handle higher overclocks compared to what you achieved.

Yes but isn't 1.34 a bit high? I had to increase from 1.26 to 1.34 for only 0.2ghz!

I know 1.26 for 4.4ghz is good, The problem is for the 4.6!

As discussed, Ivy Bridge faces similar challenges. How are your temperatures?

You might consider removing the CPU and installing a better thermal paste. It's a bold step, but it could significantly improve performance. Note: I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really in a situation.

Blazorthon explained the issue and asked about their temperatures. He mentioned trying version 95 but encountered a BSOD after five minutes.
