Hi. I got something doesn't add up, when I oc to 4.4, 4.5 ghz, my voltage start climbing out of control like 1.4 to 1.5v, and I don't why, I cranked load line calibration to extreme, tried manualy and offsetting the voltage but climbing like crazy, any idea?
cpu:3570k
cooler: nzxt kraken x60
mb:asus 77Z sabertooth
ram:patriot el series 1866mhz
hdd: o.s: ssd mushkin chromos
vga: aotac gtx 670

i tried to set vcore to 1.300 for 4.6 ghz and it won't boot it keeps bsoding on me, also the vcore keep climbing by it self everytime i reset i.e. 1.300 climbs to 1.330 according to bios sensor, my bottom line every setting i use (manual or auto) windows won't boot. (i use win 7 ultimate with latest updates)

listen bro... IB isn't SB. I'm sure you're doing something wrong... you're not giving us enough info to be sure... but understand that IB has a reputation for poor overclocking for a reason. Simply put the thermal grease intel put inside the heatspreader sucks. As a result IB cpus tend to have massive heat problems once you get around 4.5ghz... causing more extreme overclockers to "delid" their cpus, to get a better contact with the head source, allowing them to boost the overclock a bit.

AND, ever cpu is different. Just because most IB cpus should overclock to 4.4ghz-4.5ghz doesn't mean yours will. sometimes you get a bum chip for overclocking.

Off the top of my head, here is how i would fix your problem.

1) reset your bios to stock, lets start over.
2) turn off all power saving and turbo features.
3) take you overclock up, with the multiplier ALONE. don't touch anything else, one step at a time. make sure windows loads.
4) repeat step 3 as many times as necessary until windows doesn't load.
5) bump the vcore 1 setting up
6) repeat step 4 and 5 as many times as necessary until you get up around a 4.3ghz overclock
7) run prime 95 for 20-30 minutes to make sure it's a stable enough overclock, if it crashes you may need to up your vcore again. Keep a close eye on your temps. If they start to approach 90C you've got a heat issue and need to back the cpu down until the temps under a 20 minute prime burn aren't blistering.
8)if you're stable and temps aren't out of control, take it another step in the overclock. only add vcore as needed, in short, don't add it when you bump the multiplier, add it if windows doesn't load or you fail a prime95 burn.

Write down your settings at each ghz point. there will come a point where the vcore needed to stabilize the overclock for each progressive step will get exponentially higher along with the temps. At that point you're at the end of your overclock with that chip unless you get better cooling.

I usually then back my overclock off a little from that point just to stabilize, and insure i don't' overheat and shorten the life of my cpu.

once you've settled on a ghz number (and don't go by what other people have, as every cpu is different) tinker with your ram settings as necessary to produce a stable 10-12 hour prime95 burn to insure your system stability.

i'll start from the top, speed step, turbo, BCLK recovery, spread spectrum, power mgmt i.e. c1 control etc.. are all disabled, manually changing multiplier through turbo ratio in CPU power mgmt section in bios, memory freq is set to auto, all other volts values set to auto also aside from Vcore, when i raise muliplier to 46 the system wont boot up and voltage keeps raising above the value i enter i.e. 1.300 jumps to 1.330, oh and temps won't go higher than 40, that's what i can think of right now for i sure could use some help with it because i sank to much money in this machine and i hate that i can't push it to want i want.

if you're on air temps should be much, much hither than 40, what "temps" are you reading and what software are you reading it with:

also, honestly, if you always bsod at 4.6ghz, maybe you should just lay off and step down to 4.5ghz? it's honestly normal

i'm looking at the manual for your motherboard right now... and what you said here is a little confused.

there are 2 main "multipliers" which apply to the cpu.
1) turbo multiplier
2) cpu ratio (the multiplier for the BCLK)

it's the 2nd one you want to play with, and it's found in the Advanced tab, CPU Power Management Configuration, there you can manually set the multiplier.

now if the system won't boot with the multiplier set to 46, (unless my math fails me 4.6ghz) back it off. 4.5ghz is about the average overclock cooled by air for an IB which hasn't been delidded. If you insist on stepping past that boundry you're probably gonna have to boost your vcore even more.

but i'm not an expert on IB overclocking (most of my experience in the recent Core I architecture was with SB) so someone else can probably fill in the details i'm being vague about. just hope this focuses the conversation a bit more to get to the specific problem.
