iam using a programs called click bios 2

core temp

cpu-z

prime65

i am trying to over clock my cpu to 4.4ghz but it seems I need to but my cpu voltage over 1.3 cause even at 1.3 on 4.4ghz i get a blue screen and crash
but so far i can get 4.3 at 1.3 maybe ill be able to set that a little lower

i can get 4.2ghz with the voltage set to just auto

at the 1.3 with 4.3ghz my temps are 65 to 67

but iam wondering people say its not worth it or something like that if you have to get around 1.3 to 1.35 plus voltage to get 4.4ghz


is this because of the damage it will do or ware and tair it will cuase on the cpu or power supply over time

if so i do plan on getting a core i7 higher end cpu not right away put in the near future

put if it is going to damage my powersupply i will stop and tone it back

iam also running 2 gigbyte oc 7970s in crossfire a long side
with 4 slots of 4gb ram total 16gbs of ram G.skill 1600mhz

iam not quit sure what my powersupply is seasonic 1050w 80gold

motherboard msi z77 Mpower

plz get back to me on this and thank you for all your help

First off dear gods dont use that software! Change directly in bios!

Going up is not always the answer. Granted every cpu is different for its sweet spot, but that is a bit high for that low of an oc. Trial n error. I have seen 4.4 at 1.24v. I, ve seen 4.3 at 1.18v. So don't be afraid to go up or down both. Play around untill stable boot. Then test and play in small increments til stable testing

"Not worth it" is all a matter of perspective. OCing in general will shorten life span. Stock lifespan design is 7-10 years. Mild OC at 4.3 might shave that to 4-6. Big deal. Question is what do you want. Always find the lowest voltage you can run stable at, if for no other reason, heat. Never go above 1.49v! Ever! Beyond that, extend back of hand, make fist, extend middle finger, and stick tongue out at said chicken nay sayers. OC is a geek need/drive. Cowards and imbeciles need not apply
