Hi
I'm a little bit confused with my system/CPU and why I can't get it to overclock very much. It seems the most I can overclock my i5 4670K to is 4Ghz. Any higher and the PC acts up, freezes or resets. It won't even let me increase the voltage either. I tried increasing it by a tiny amount - from 1.000 V to 1.005 and I instantly get a 'blue screen of death'.
I understand that results vary from computer to computer when overclocking components, but could there be something else I'm missing in this case? I mean, the system won't even let me TRY increasing the voltage a tiny amount to experiment. Could my PSU be partially responsible too?
Also, it seems with every GPU I've bought, I've never been able to overclock them by very much, and the results have yielded no improvements to game performance from I can tell.
Any suggestions would be appreicated.
