Hi everyone, i just did my first OC on Intel Core i7 4770k. on msi Z87 G43 Gaming. cooler Corsair h110..

I just overclocked my PC to 4.1, on 1.2 volts. but i am getting 80+ temps in a room temperature of like 20. is it normal or something is fishy fishy? PC is stable but i am worried about the temps. and if want to clock it more then i will reach to 100+ temp? The cooler fans are stock fans

For any stress testing whatsoever you should have your cpu voltage set to manual mode and never adaptive. Second you should check your cache voltage setting. It could be set too high as well. The auto setting can go up to 1.3 on mine after overclocking. I set mine to manual with 1.2v. at 4.2 cache ratio. I would also reseat the h110 block a couple times and look at the thermal paste disbursement and determine if your using just the right amount of paste as well as if its being seated properly. Good luck and keep us posted.

To determine your cache ratio stock setting I would load optimized defaults and then go into the bios and look at the cache ratio and cache ratio voltage. Stock settings for 4770k I believe are 3.9 ratio with...

It's more than likely defective or you installed it wrong. Did you take off the plastic before putting on thermal paste connecting to your computer? Also you might want to contact corsair about this

with those temps I nothing wrong, getting in the 80,s is no problem, I have a 4670k on 4.5ghz with a vcore of 1.190v and I hit 85 degrees for highest core on a h105, and I don't find it any problem

These are the changes that i DO

1. CPU Base Click Apply Mode = Next Boot
2. CPU Ratio = 4.5
3. CPU Ratio Mode = Dynamic Mode
4. Rind Ratio = 4.4
5. CPU Core Voltage = 1.200
6. CPU Core Voltage Mode = Adaptive Mode
7. Ring Voltage = 1.185

And Thats It

RESULT ==== Stuck's At The Boot Screen

properly to low vcore, not all cpu,s run at 1.2v 4.5ghz, some need 1.3v or more, or not even get it at 4.5ghz.
if its stable for 4.1 it don't mean that it is stable at 4.5ghz with that voltage.
Don't now much about msi boards, but my settings are.

ratio 45
llc level 6
power phase control optimized.
cpu current capability 120%
internal pll overvoltage enabled
vcore bios 1.170v
cpu input voltage 1.8v
cpu spread disabled
Eist and c-states enabled, Disabled during stress testing.
 


Go to my post above from 7-29 and visit the thread that I recommended there. Lots of great recommendations there. I posted some screenshots of my BIOS settings. I think that they are on pg 3.

Stock settings for 4770k I believe are 3.9 ratio with around 1.7ish v. I would set the cache ratio to manual at stock ratio and voltage for testing.
