Hello, I tried to overclock my I5 2500K to 4.5 GHz but it didn’t stay stable under 1.350 prime crashes. At 1.4 it works for about an hour before crashing again. That seems quite high already. I managed 4.2 stability at a Vcore of 1.3. Could anyone assist me? Also, I noticed some UEFI settings are missing—some people seem to use different configurations. My setup is: GA Z68x u.d3h b3, CPU i5 2500K, GPU rx 480, RAM 8GB DDR3 1600, CPU cooler Cryorig H7.

The silicon lottery was lucky, but 4.2Ghz isn't bad.
