First of all, i want to announce that i'm very new to overclocking, as you probably will notice below:
So i wanted to overclock my i7 4770K. To check any problems with the chip beforehand, i ran the aida64 stress test for a while. CPU temps were pretty stable the whole time, ranging from 39C to no more than 41C at stock clocks, however the voltages worries me. Alot.
While testing they lay at steadily at 1.231V. I looked up a guide how to overclock before any of this of course and i ended with Linus tech tips' guide in which he used 1.2V for 4.6GHz.
How am i supposed to overclock it with those voltages at stock clocks (3.9GHz)? Am i completely mistaken?
Any advise would be nice, regarding voltages. And yes i know about the silicon lottery, where i think i have lost.
