the i5 4670k passed the stress test but experienced random reboots
Hi everyone
I thought I had a stable overclock with these settings: VCCIN: 2v, Core: 1.25v, Ring: 1.23v, Core Multi: 45*, Cache Multi: 43*, and it passed the stress test for 8 hours. However, I’m experiencing random reboots even when doing simple tasks like typing or using Chrome, and it also reboots on startup. Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
These are just the scaling factors. What are the real clock speeds of the chip? Also consider lowering the overclock and checking for crashes. Use stress tests and also test in real-world scenarios. Prime95 works well as a CPU stress tester. Keep reducing the overclock until it functions properly again. If you return to normal speeds, it’s unlikely your CPU is the cause of the issues. -elite.
Hi all
I thought I had a stable overclock with these specs
VCCIN: 2v
Core: 1.25v
Ring: 1.23v
Core Multi: 45*

Passed the stress test for 8 hours, but I experience random reboots when using basic apps like Word or Chrome. I’ve also had it restart on startup unexpectedly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks ahead of time.
What are your core temperatures during the stress test?
Which Intel tool are you using: Extreme Tuning Utility or Burn Test?

Those are just the multipliers, what are the real clock speeds of the chip? Also consider lowering the overclock and checking for crashes. Use stress tests and real-world applications when testing an overclock. Prime95 could be a better CPU stress tester. Keep reducing the OC until it works properly again. If you return to normal speeds, it’s unlikely your CPU is causing the issues.

Hello everyone
I was expecting a stable overclock with these specs:
VCCIN: 2v, Core: 1.25v, Ring: 1.23v, Core Multi: 45*, Cache Multi: 43*, Passed intel stress test for 8 hours.
But I experience random reboots even when doing simple tasks like typing or using Chrome. I also had it restart automatically at startup.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
What are your core temperatures during the stress test?
Are you using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility or Intel Burn Test?
Bumped the core voltage up to 1.27v and the peak core temperature reached 73°C.
I’ve been using the Intel Extreme tuning utility since it came with my board.
Thanks
I just completed a 16-hour stress test. It might indicate a problem with another component, such as additional RAM or the SSD.
I just completed a 16-hour stress test. It might be related to some hardware problems, like a RAM stick or an SSD. What SSD do you have? The two units I own tend to freeze often because of the low-quality SSD. You can run a Windows memory tester or individually test each RAM stick.

The two units I own tend to freeze often because of the low-cost SSD. You could try Windows memory tester or run each RAM stick separately with at least two sticks for better results. My model is Crucial M500 256GB. I ran memtest86 all night with no errors, but I’ll check the Windows memory tester next, thanks.

mentioned passing a 16 hour stress test and suspects hardware issues like RAM or SSD problems. Asked about the SSD type and recommended using Windows Memory Tester or testing individual sticks of RAM. Shared Crucial M500 256GB and confirmed no errors during memtest86. Inquired if it crashes at stock CPU speeds.

Just because an 8-hour stress test passes doesn’t guarantee stability!
Stress testing doesn’t cover graphic or audio demands—further tuning through benchmarking and gaming is needed, which usually requires higher CPU voltage.
Even though Billy Bobs hardware can run at 1.25v, your setup might not be able to, since overclock performance varies between systems.
If your multiplier level isn’t supported by sufficient CPU voltage, it won’t be stable and could cause file corruption.
By the way, I’m sure your graphics drivers are already corrupted.
