Frequency relates to CPU clock speed. If you're thinking about increasing voltage, then yes, it might help stabilise your OC, but it depends on the voltage your system needs from your PSU, the actual voltage being provided (vCore versus VID), and whether the voltage is fixed, adaptive, or auto. It could also risk causing a harmful overvoltage. The situation really matters.

Tell me about the voltage I'm using when I get back home.

Info if it helps:
CPU model: i5 4690k
Frequency: 4.5ghz
Voltage: 1.283V
Motherboard: ASRock z97 pro4
Power Supply: Corsair gs800
Cooler: 212 evo
Overclocking with fixed voltage, no offset
Is this voltage suitable or definitely too high/low?
Thanks

You could aim for at least 1.4 but verify if that's the real voltage under load. If it increases, adjust BIOS settings; if it drops, it may indicate an unstable overclock. Maintaining a consistent level (as expected with fixed) allows safe adjustments. This discussion is helpful regarding vCore versus VID https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...ng.226818/

That's what I'm confused about. The voltage remains constant even when under load, so should I enable auto-voltage settings, perform a stress test, and then check the voltage to estimate the desired fixed value?

When I set the voltage to auto at 4.5ghz, the system freezes for a few minutes after startup.

This would provide a general understanding, though it poses significant risks. A safer approach might be to boost manually until stability improves. On Auto, the CPU can handle any request and deliver results.

Ok thanks i've been going up and 1.31 volts is still not working with the stress tests. How much voltage should i go up to max? How much voltage should i add between each stress tests ? +0.05 ? +0.005 ? I'm not sure about that

Probably around 0.05, though it varies based on your board configuration and how the data applies. Also, simply changing the voltage might not suffice; you should consider vdroop and use an LLC design, while disabling C states and EIST. It's difficult to give a precise answer with limited information, but keeping the voltage under 1.4 should be safe as long as your load line offset is sufficient.

I lack sufficient knowledge about the topic to fully grasp what you mentioned. The power input is 1.77V and the CPU receives 1.32 for now. Some BIOS configurations include: cache ratio at 35, BCLK frequency set to auto, BCLK ratio also auto, spread spectrum disabled, CPU input voltage in fixed mode, fixed voltage at 1.77V, and CPU voltage mode overridden. Other details like cache voltage are handled automatically.
