solutions to 4770k overclock issues
My setup performed well with the i7 4770k at 4.4 ghz. Testing with AIDA64 for half an hour showed stable operation and basic performance. I played Rainbow Six Siege for around an hour, keeping temperatures between 65 and 70°C. During a match, I encountered blue screen errors with WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR when playing my third or fourth game. My voltage is set at 1.25v, which seems normal. Raising it to 1.3v might be risky—any advice?
Williamdstapleton3 added the details clearly.
He mentioned a stable temperature around 68°C without stuttering.
He noted a blue screen occurred after a jump to 1.25-1.3V.
He suggested testing between 4.5Ghz and 4.6Ghz for stability.
He pointed out that at 4.4Ghz with 1.3V, the CPU can handle it without overheating.
You're running a long CPU stress test.
Blue screens during games suggest instability.
Raising the voltage too much isn't advisable—adjust gradually and monitor performance.
Just to clarify, 1.3V at 4770K is acceptable, but there might still be some margin for improvement—perhaps up to 4.5Ghz. If that's not possible, it would be best to remain where the current voltage isn't affecting the CPU performance. What temperature are you seeing at this point?

It seems a 1.3V for a 4770K is acceptable, but you might still need to go higher—perhaps up to 4.5Ghz. If that’s not possible, staying at the current voltage won’t help the CPU much.
At this point I was experiencing around 68°C without any stuttering.
I tried adjusting to 1.25-1.3V to see what a stable setting looks like.
From what I know, most 4770K chips can reach up to 80°C at 4.6Ghz, which is the max for that CPU when using 1.3V.
If you’re stuck at 4.4Ghz, you might want to prepare for a future upgrade with VCORE.
But currently, 1.3V with 4.4Ghz is still acceptable since it’s not overheating.

Just to clarify, a 1.3V for a 4770K is acceptable, but you might still have some margin to improve... perhaps up to 4.5Ghz if needed... If not, stay where the voltage doesn't help the CPU. What temperature are you seeing at this point?
I usually got around 68°C without any stuttering. I just played and then faced a blue screen.
Try adjusting between 1.25-1.3V to find a stable setting. Based on my experience, most 4770Ks can reach up to 80°C at 4.6Ghz, which is the max for that CPU using 1.3V. So if you're at 4.4Ghz yet, you can plan to use a VCORE later. At the same time, 1.3V with 4.4Ghz is still okay since it won't cause overheating.
Also, in my BIOS I see CPU cache voltage and CPU core voltage. I've mostly focused on the core voltage but haven't adjusted the cache voltage much. Cache is set to auto.

Try switching between 1.25-1.3V to find a stable setting. From what I know, most 4770Ks can reach up to 80°C at 4.6Ghz, which is the max for that CPU using 1.3V. So if you're at 4.4Ghz yet, you can plan to use some VCORE later. But at 1.3V with 4.4Ghz it's still okay since it won't overheat.
In my BIOS I see the CPU cache voltage and core voltage. I've mostly adjusted the core voltage, but I'm not sure about the cache voltage. The cache is set to auto.
Keep working with the ratio mainly. Core voltage is usually the main cause of overheating.
