Hello everyone,
*DISCLAIMER* I'm a tad bit new to overclocking so don't yell at me, haha.
Anyways, i'm trying to overclock my i7 4770k to 4.5Ghz on my Asus z87. I have already achieved a solid and stable 4.2 overclock $ 1.250V but CANNOT and I mean CANNOT get to 4.5 Ghz. I have set my Dram voltage to 1.60000 and proceeded to increase my voltage in increments of .5 at first. After reaching 1.3 I managed to boot into windows successful. First thing I did was check the temps, usage, and attempted to use prime 95 for 24 hours. While running at 4.5Ghz @ 1.3v my idle was 38 - 42C. But when it came time to run Prime 95 BOOM insta crash. Afterwards I tried increasing my voltage by increments of .1. I was able to boot into windows at 1.28V but still had that crash. Any ideas for this noob?
