Ok, so im not new to the pc scene, and have done a load of research on haswell overclocking but im having some major difficulty. From all i have read the voltages vary widely from chip to chip but to get a stable overclock im having to increase my vcore to over 1.25 just to hit 4.0ghz. My current rig is:
4670k
asrock z87m extreme4
Gskill 1866 8gb
thermaltake 600w psu
evo 212
evga 660 sc
temps stay in the 60-65c range which seems ok. I have tried to get to the 4.4ghz by setting my vcore to 1.25 override and it would only go as far as the windows startup screen the bsod with a code of 124. With the uncore clock set at 34 VCin set to 1.95 all the power saving options disabled. And my ram set to 1600mhz.
I think i lost the "silicon lottery" as everyone has been saying.
I have a few questions though. Firstly, in the uefi there is a setting for FIVR switch frequency which i tried to google but came up empty handed. What is this. and is it safe to go over 1.3v. i got the system to run on 1.3v vcore 1.95 vcin ram set to 1600. But was not stable at all. but temps where good in prime95.
o and my auto settings voltages are as follows
vcore 1.186
vccin 1.768
seems kinda high to me, should i try to reseat the cpu?
kinda bummed since i bought a "k" series cpu for the purpose of overclocking and it has a hard time going over 4.0ghz.
any help is appreciated...
ps need more specs lmk.
