Hello, I own an i5-4690k @4.5 GHz with a voltage of 1.250. I used to run at 1.3 Vcore before lowering it to 1.250 to achieve better temperatures, and that worked well. However, now my games are experiencing microstuttering every time. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

I'm not a specialist in overclocking, but I managed to reach 4.5 on that chip myself. I think reducing the Vcore from 1.3 to 1.250 was the key. After doing this, my games would crash after around 20 minutes, usually about five minutes longer, consistently. I had to lower it back to 1.295 to maintain a steady 4.5Ghz.

Did you apply prime95 or CPUz for stability checks? Just use those programs and gradually increase the voltage back to its original setting to observe any changes. It's a gradual process, avoid sudden jumps.
