Wondering if anyone can help, got my 4770K OC'ed to 4.4GHz @ 1.17volts, HT disabled. It passes an hour of OCCT without going over 60c (using a waterloop for CPU cooling). I tried going up to 4.5GHz but I kept crashing when loading the OS with WHEA errors, this was happening all the way up to 1.25 Volts (I didn't really want to go past that). My question is, is this normal to just kind of hit a brick wall? I understand each chip is different but when I got 4.4 @ 1.17 I thought it would at least make 4.5 @ 1.25? Is this just a not so good chip or am I missing something? Thanks.
