I encountered this OC issue on my i7 - 4790k. Last week I managed to reach 4.5ghz with a core voltage of 1.185v. During an AIDA64 stability test lasting 8 hours and 47 minutes, using a background Heaven benchmark, temperatures stayed at 31/35°C at idle, 67°C under full CPU load, and 58°C on the GPU. The room temperature was around 30°C. However, the following attempt to verify stability only lasted 9 minutes. I found a WHEA_UNCORECTABLE_ERROR online, which suggested insufficient core voltage. I increased it by 0.05v, and it worked for 5 hours with the same test. After that, due to the error, I stored it in my mind. The next day, when I retested, the same error appeared again after just 7 minutes. Then I adjusted the voltage again by 0.05v, and the issue disappeared after 12 hours of testing. Now it’s happening once more after 10 minutes with the identical test. It’s really confusing—I’m wondering if this is wrong with me! The only thing that triggers the BSOD is this test; I haven’t experienced any problems during gaming or browsing. I just use my PC for gaming, web browsing, movies, and some music. I don’t want to keep raising the voltage, as it feels unnecessary.

AIDA64 is a potato stress test designed specifically for potatoes. Download intel burn test for example. Or the best option you can do consistently works well for me—run cinebench r15 4-5 times as a quick stability check, then perform an intel burn test for 10-15 minutes while monitoring your temperature, and finally play a CPU-intensive game. I don’t know which is better, but examples like Witcher 3, Crysis 3, Planetside 2 (which is better than any for me), or even CS GO outperform any stress test.

AIDA64 is a potato stress test designed specifically for potatoes. For example, you can try an intel burn test. Or the best option that consistently works for me is running cinebench r15 4-5 times as a quick stability check, followed by an intel burn test for 10-15 minutes while monitoring your temperature. At the end, play a CPU-intensive game; I don’t know which method is superior, but examples like Witcher 3, Crysis 3, and Planetside 2 are great, even better than any stress test, including CS GO.

I agree. I applied intel extreme tuning utility for a stress test. I believed I was stable until I executed prime95. It's always wise to perform various stress tests.
