Hello,
I recently got my 4790K to 5GHz, but I am having these freezing issues. It randomly freezes, and sometimes it logs in successfully, but then freezes. It is the kind of freeze where I need to reset system.
Any tips?
Thanks!

If your freezing after your overclock then obviously you can't overclock that high, or your voltage is wrong. Revert the overclock and see if the problem persists. I imagine it will solve your problem though.

If you're planning to overclock that high read a specialized guide and make you're doing everything properly and that you can run that OC in a stable environment.

Did you run a stress test after overclocking?

I can't run a stress test because I can't login without it freezing :/
But I have it 100% stable at 4.9GHz.
Also I should mention that at 5GHz, when I login, sometimes I get a BSOD with stop code 101 instead of that freeze, which tells me that I need to increase voltage, but I'm already at 1.6V, so I'm not sure if I should go any higher.
Also my temperatures are ok.

I meant after you overclocked your computer. If you use something like AMD overdrive you can overclock your comp and afterwards you can run a stress test. How did you OC? Through bios I presume.

a BSOD 0x101 means add more Vcore

Regardless the solution here is to revert the overclock settings go to bios and bring it back to default settings.

I don't understand what you're saying sorry. You mean just don't overclock?

Don't worry man. I'm here to help so all is good. :)

No just make sure when you overclock that it's stable. Hopefully reverting it back solves your problem.

I'm asking how you overclocked essentially.

Anyway to keep the thread on topic revert and let me know if your problem persists. If it doesn't freeze then that solves your freezing problem.

To properly overclock to 5GHZ post a thread in http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-29.html

A wealth of information inside that section of the forum too so everything you will need will most likely be there if not resort to: have question? google has answers. Plenty of guides out there to help you out.

If you make a thread on how to overclock to that speed include as much info as possible.

Happy hunting!

1.6 V.??? What guide are you following?

The max safe voltage for Haswell is 1.300 V.!

Then how does Intel expect us to get to 5 GHz on air?

Btw I'm running a custom loop
 


My guess is that Intel doesn't expect 5.0 GHz on air. the 1.300 v. limit that I posted is rather liberal. Intel recommends no more than +10% over stock, which is prolly even less than 1.300 v.
