i5 4670k OC Results
Hey, I understand that each processor behaves differently, but do you have any advice on how to improve your overclocking of the i5 4670K? It seems like hitting 4.3 GHz is challenging and causes instability at higher speeds like 4.4 or 4.5 GHz. I've already tried adjusting the core voltage to 1.45, but it still crashes during games such as GTA. Thanks in advance!
Hey, I understand that each processor behaves a bit differently. Do you have any advice on how to improve the overclocking of your i5 4670k above 4.3 GHz? It seems like it becomes very unstable at 4.4 or 4.5 GHz. I've already tried adjusting the core voltage to 1.45, but it still crashes during games like GTA. Thanks in advance! D
Cooler - Macho Rev A, Motherboard - MSI z87 g43, temperatures are excellent, it's really cold there. I've tested multiplayer, changed the voltage to dynamic instead of fixed, and that's about it. It still crashes with a blue screen every time.
Otherwise, here’s what to do first: restart your BIOS to the default settings. Adjust the voltage to 1.250V and keep using manual mode for now. Increase your CPU frequency to 4.4 and save before exiting. If possible, boost the CPU/case fan speeds during stress tests. Run an Intel burn test at full capacity to verify maximum temperature and stability over 5-10 minutes using HWmonitor. Aim for temperatures below 85-90°C—this test will push your CPU beyond normal game temperatures, so don’t worry about overheating. If you pass the burn test (10 minutes), raise the frequency to 4.5GHZ or lower voltage by 0.010 if needed. Keep adjusting until voltage and speed work together. Only after achieving this can you consider adaptive voltage that reduces during idle or light use. Good luck!

Cooler - Macho Rev A , Motherboard - MSI z87 g43 , Temperatures are really good its cold down there, I'v touched multiplayer, voltage I'v set the multiplayer to dynamic instead of fixed and thats pretty much it , yeah it crashes with blue screen everytime
Never seen reviews on this cooler but looks big enough to do the job.
So what u do first is reset your bios settings to default.
Put voltage to 1.250V use only MANUAL for now.
Push your cpu frequency to 4.4 and press save and exit.
Make sure you increase cpu/case fan speeds during stress testing if possible.
Stress test using Intel burn test on maximum to check the max temperature and also test stability for 5-10 min. Monitor temperatures with HWmonitor. Make sure temperature is under 85-90C (intel burn test will stress your cpu to much higher temperatures than any game will in the future, so dont be afraid of temps)
Pass 10 min = increase speed to 4.5GHZ (or decrease voltage by 0.010 if temperature is too high)
Fail = Rise your voltage by 0.010 ( or downclock your cpu to 4.4GHZ if temperatures too high)
Do it until voltage and frequency becomes best friends.
Once u pass 10 min intel burn test temperatures under 85-90 and stable go play some games( better if games are more CPU demanding)
Only after you success you can think of adaptive voltage that will drop down on idle or low loads.
Good luck
So I'v set it to 4.4 and 1.250 V and before I could see my desktop there was a blue screen already. Then i'v set the voltage to 1.26 V and after I turned on the intel burn test it immediately crashed, I followed it with trying to set it to 1.27 , 1.28 and 1.29 but still it crashes every time (although at 1.29 it lasted the longest amount of time before crash)
if you're not stable at 4.4GHz with 1.45Vcore, then 4.3 seems to be the limit for your chip. Ehh, that's what I thought, unlucky.
