Hey everyone,
So I a convert of console gaming to PC gaming. I saw the light and, oh, it is beautiful. I am new to the overclocking game (and PC building for that matter) but after hours and days of extensive research I am trying to squeeze out as much performance as possible from my i5-4670K. I have read tutorials on overclockers.com, seen videos on YouTube, etc. Now I need some more guidance and clarification. I am running AIDA 64 on my CPU with the voltage set at 1.25V and the multiplier at 43. I ran it for 6 hours over night and when I awoke I found zero error messages and temps did not exceed 60C. Awesome, right? Well, I tried to see if it could handle 1.20V at 46, 1.22V at 46, and 1.25V at 46 but it would crash as soon as the desktop was visible or sometimes it wouldn't boot past starting the OS. It would just give me a blue screen. Well, I tried to lower/raise my voltage by .01 or even .001 but anything higher/lower than 1.25V at 43 completely crashes my PC. Does this mean I have a mediocre CPU at the lower end of the bell curve? Any advice as how to boost my multiplier with a stable voltage? I have yet to boot up any games (BioShock Infinite or Hitman: Absolution) to see if it will crash on start up. You help is MUCH appreciated. Thank you!
My current rig (don't know if this helps):
ASUS Z87I-Deluxe Motherboard
Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid Cooler
EVGA 600B 600W PSU (100-B1-0600-KR)
Gygabite GTX 770 (GV-N770OC-4GD)
Intel i5-4670K 3.4GHz CPU
Kingston HyperX DDR3 8 GB
LG UH12NS30 Bluray Drive
Lian-Li PC-Q08B Case
Seagate 600 Series 240GB SSD (ST240HM000)
3 x Seagate Backup Plus 4 TB
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS
