the i7-4770k is not achieving 4.2 gHz
Hey there,
My PC is running an i7-4770K on an MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming motherboard, with Kingston 2400MHz 16GB (2x8GB) RAM, and a 980Ti graphics card from EVGA. I've been overclocking for a while but never fully grasped all the details. I've kept my processor at 4.2GHz for over a year without any issues, and it's never triggered a blue screen. Recently, I tried pushing it even higher, but that attempt didn't succeed. I accidentally left off saving the settings from 4.2GHz, so now I'm stuck at 4.1GHz or less. I might have missed out on something important, but I'm confident I should be able to hit at least 4.2GHz. I've adjusted many memory and CPU parameters without much improvement, and the system crashes after just a couple of minutes. I'm really confused and would really appreciate any advice or guidance you can offer. I don't remember my previous 4.2GHz voltage, but I've tested up to 1,275V.
Thanks!

I forgot to save the previous setting and now can't exceed 4.1 GHz. I might have missed out on something important, but I'm confident I should be able to hit at least 4.2 GHz. I've adjusted various memory and CPU settings without much improvement. The PC won't stay...

I forgot to save the settings I used at that speed, and now I can't exceed 4.1GHz. I might have missed out on the best settings, but I'm confident I should be able to hit at least 4.2GHz.
