Check if your overclocked i5 4670k can handle higher temperatures safely.
I reached 1.24v but noticed something unusual—my audio kept glitching too. The system rebooted after a bugcheck. The details were saved in C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP, with Report Id: 27083aad-332f-47dc-81d4-29d7f7bbe3fa. It looks like your Vcore was too low; try 1.25v. I increased it to 1.24v again and still experienced issues, so I’m considering downclocking to 4.2ghz. If that fails, I’ll lower the clock to 4.2 as well.
I didn’t test at 4.4GHz for a long time because I don’t want to risk damaging my chip. My current setup runs at 1.29V with a 212 EVO air cooler, and it passed Cinebench R15 with a score of 95 after 5 minutes at around 80°C. I’m planning to upgrade to Corsair H100i if needed.
For comparison, I use the 6600k at 4.6GHz with 1.29Vcore on an EVO 212, maintaining temperatures below 80°C during tests. A 1.29Vcore is moderate and not extreme—performance differences between 4.3 and 4.4 are minimal. If you’re comfortable with 4.3 or 4.2, stick with that frequency.
I managed to boot up at 1.24v but noticed something unusual—my audio kept acting weird too. 😕
The system has already rebooted after a bugcheck. The details of the check are: 0x00000124, with specific hash values and a dump saved at C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report ID is 27083aad-332f-47dc-81d4-29d7f7bbe3fa.
It looks like your Vcore was too low. Try increasing it to 1.25v. I adjusted it to 1.245v and still experienced issues, so I’m considering downclocking to 4.2GHz.
If that also fails, I’ll lower the clock speed to 4.2GHz.
I didn’t test 4.4GHz for a long time because I don’t want to risk damaging my chip. I passed Cinebench R15 with a score of 95 in 5 minutes, and temperatures were around 80°C. I’m using an air cooler (Hyper 212 EVO) but might need to upgrade to Corsair H100i.
My setup runs the 6600k at 4.6GHz with 1.29Vcore using an EVO 212, keeping temps below 80°C during tests. OCCT is used instead of Prime. If you’re on the latest Prime, you might see unrealistic temperatures that aren’t seen by regular apps.
A 1.29Vcore is a moderate setting—not at the top end. The difference between 4.3 and 4.4 isn’t huge, so if you’re comfortable with 4.3 or 4.2, stick with that frequency.
If I can keep stable at 4.3GHz with 1.245v or 1.25v, I’m fine. My cache runs at 3.4GHz and doesn’t seem to impact performance much.
If I can achieve 4.3ghz at 1.245 or 1.25v stable, with max temps around 75c in prime95, then the difference should be almost negligible. Your ring cache at 3.4ghz likely has only a minor impact on performance, as you mentioned.
the setup seems to work well with the current configuration. I can maintain around 75c in prime95 without noticeable issues. The performance difference between 4.3 and 4.4 is minimal, as you mentioned. My ring cache runs at 3.4ghz, but it doesn’t seem to impact speed much. I’m considering increasing the core voltage slightly if I raise the cache frequency to 4.0ghz, though I haven’t pushed the cache beyond 1.2v yet.

Well if i can run 4.3ghz at 1.245 or 1.25v stable im fine max temps were 75c in prime95.I mean like u said there should be almost 0 difference between 4.3 and 4.4. Btw my ring cache is at 3.4ghz does that affect performance cuz i heard it doesnt.
Minimally. I have UNCORE at 4.5GHz, but it adds minimal improvement.
Btw i just downloaded OCCT and this just happened i have my vcore set to 1.245volts adaptive but OCCT bumped it to 1.37v Pic:
