Only compatible with Windows at 4.2ghz - i5 4670k
Hey I’m just starting this Overclocking journey for the first time. My build was from June 2014 and I’ve made some recent changes. I’m using an i5 4670k, which is a bit late to the OC game. I’ve tried following a few guides online: https://www.overclockers.com/3step-guide...l-haswell/ They suggest setting VCore voltages between 1.25 and 1.3, but my BIOS caps it at 1.2v. I set the clock core ratio to 42 and each core to 42. The system boots fine, temperatures are around 30s. Go back to the BIOS and try changing it to 43. After loading Windows, I get a Blue Screen. Any thoughts on why I can’t push the voltage higher? It feels like a lucky draw in Overclocking. The CPU is already 4 years old—shouldn’t I be able to go further? From all the posts I’ve read, it still seems possible to improve...? I’ve been running it for about 45 minutes during a stress test at 4.2ghz so far, no issues.
Absolutely, the vcore is definitely the best. OC can be enjoyable, though from 3.7 to 4.2 ghz there won't be much of a difference. If you're serious about doing it, just let me know your Mobo model and I'll assist you.
