The specifications include a mobo- model from gigabyte with the z87x-ud3h chipset and bios version F10b. The processor is an i5-4670k with a hyper 212x cooler, paired with an asrock rx 7800xt challenger oc gpu. There are 4x4gb corsair ram at 1600 mhz dual channel, and a 500gb ssd. The user mentions their cpu is around ten years old and hasn't attempted overclocking before. They are considering adjusting the cpu's turbo settings to stabilize performance, possibly using a fixed ratio instead of turboboost. They are experiencing uncorrectable errors and clock watchdog timeouts during or after startup, which they suspect may be related to the overclocking process. They also ask if lowering the ram frequency to 1330mhz would improve stability, noting the current stock setting is 1600mhz with xmp enabled.

It seems you might require a higher voltage for the CPU. A quick search suggests up to 1.45V, but with an air cooler it's likely not more than 1.4V.

For Haswell, that's quite a strong setting. Returns start to decline around 1.35 volts.
I'm referring to using 1.29 volts at 4.3Ghz on a rather basic overclocker, 4770k.
1.22 could be viable on a top-tier chip or after a major refresh.
I'd suggest targeting a budget 4790k, which typically delivers 4.4Ghz naturally.
