i5-4670k Overlock tips needed
Hello, here are some tips for your setup. Your current BIOS settings seem fine, but you might want to adjust things like temperatures if needed. Make sure your Mobo Z97X-Gaming3 and Cooler Scythe Mugen 4 are properly connected.
I won't go into the details of overclocking, but at a fundamental level; for cooler temperatures, you must reduce your voltage.
Your settings/speeds appear to be typical 'default' choices, so it seems you haven't made much adjustments.
Lower voltages around 1.25V might give similar outcomes, perhaps 1.24 or 1.23—depending on chance.
If you're stable at 1.25V and 4.5GHz, you're doing okay.
Many users find it challenging near 4.4GHz with 1.3V.

Your settings seem to be typical 'default' choices, so it looks like you haven't made much adjustments. 1.25V etc... maybe achieving similar results with 1.24 could work, perhaps 1.23 – it really depends on chance. If you're stable at 1.25V and 4.5GHz, you're doing fine. Many struggle around 4.4GHz at 1.3V. I've already tested 1.25-1.30 all bsods. But what about those Intel Turbo Boost, C1E, C3, C6/C7, CPU EIST options and possibly higher power limits? No one?
