Intel 3770K overclocking
Intel 3770K overclocking
4 days ago I formatted my computer.
After the format, I overclocked my CPU up to 4.6Ghz in the BIOS.
Today, 4 days later, I tried to see if I could push it higher and added an extra 0.2Ghz.
Unfortunately, I still got a blue screen, likely because the system was unstable.
So I reset it back to 4.6Ghz, but now I also experience a blue screen...
The maximum I can reach now is 4.4Ghz.
Anyone know why I suddenly get the blue screen at 4.6Ghz?
My system was stable before and no issues occurred.
No extra voltage was added; it was just selected in the BIOS for overclocking the CPU.
I just enabled Advanced Turbo 30, then changed it to 4.6Ghz.
Thanks for your help and answers.

08-02-2024, 07:04 AM #2Hey, I'm using the i7-3770K and adjusted the MULTIPLIERS manually. I changed them like this: 1C - x43, 2C - x43, 3C - x42, 4C - x42. Even when under heavy load, I stayed above 4.2GHz (Task Manager shows 4.16GHz). I didn’t change the voltage, but going over 4.3GHz needed more power and caused more heat, despite having a good cooler (Noctua NH-D14). Also, the actual gain of 200MHz is minimal—about 4.5%, which in games is probably only a couple of percentage points at most.

08-02-2024, 07:04 AM #3From the screens you shared it appears you're not really increasing the overclocking, just boosting the Turbo. However, to address your query, every chip has its boundaries—and even chips of the same kind can yield varying outcomes and limits. You've just reached the boundary.
Also, the actual performance gain of 200MHz is minimal—about 4.5%, which in games would be at most 2%.
Summary: I’m not sure about the exact BIOS tweaks since they differ from my setup, but I recommend focusing on stability and leaving it as is. Avoid pushing too close to the edge.
Finally, presets usually increase voltage more than manual adjustments. *4.4GHz Turbo seems to be the safe zone.*
Hey, I'm using an i7-3770K and my overclocking process involved adjusting the MULTIPLIERS manually. I used settings like 1C - x43, 2C - x43, 3C - x42, 4C - x42. Even when under heavy load, I stayed above 4.2GHz (Task Manager shows 4.16GHz). I didn’t change the voltage, but I noticed that pushing past 4.3GHz needed more power and caused more heat, despite having a good CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D14).

I can pick a profile or manually set each core to 4.6GHz in the BIOS.
Wasn't I overclocking the CPU then? In real temperature, I see around 4.6GHz on the CPU (now it's 4.4GHz).
I believe I didn’t just enable turbo but also raised the GHz.
But it’s odd that after boosting to 4.8GHz and then back to 4.6GHz, I get a blue screen.
Now I only see 4.4GHz without 4.6GHz anymore...
