Quick specs: I5-4670K/Asus Z87-A Mobo/Corsair 2x4gb Vengeance Ram 12800 1600mhz/Corsair H100i liquid cooler.
I probably bought an extremely below average I5-4670K to start with. I was only getting 4.2ghz stable with a hyper 212 evo @ max core temp 75c. I idled at around 40c-43c.
Then when I upped the speed to 4.3ghz.. it got wayy too hot and had to shut it down.
Since then, I got a H100i/delidded/lapped IHS (found it to be convex)/CoolLabLiquidPro TIM.
4.5ghz @ Vcore: 1.300v and below I get BSOD.
4.5ghz @ Vcore: 1.305v gets me 60c for my max temp, but it isn't too stable.
After running a few more tests using Prime95. I finally found my 'sweet spot'.
Currently at 4.5ghz @ Vcore: 1.310v / Idle: 24c-30c / Max Core Temp: 61c. I'm using XMP profile with 2x4gb set at 1600mhz. Everything else is on AUTO.
I'm doing research at the moment/bookmarking all the OC guides that I can find.
Any quick suggestions before I start tweaking things manually in the BIOS?
This will be my 24/7 OC on manual mode. No adaptive mode for me
Thanks
