So i've had this 4770k for a while now and i wanted to overclocking it so i tried it but kept failing.
I kept messing with the voltages and putting it around 1.1V to 1.3V with the multiplier at 42 to 44 and kept failing. so i decided to leave the voltage at auto and it boosted the voltages to 1.4V at 4.2Ghz running kinda stable then i go down .1 for 4.1Ghz and it drops down to 1.192V running stable.
Does this mean i have a bad chip and cant go any further? or do i just keep messing with the voltages for a stable 4.2GHz.

Im using a Corsair 100i with high flow fans and a GA-Z87X-UD4H motherboard.

heres a link of my system

4770k's are generally not great OCers if user reports around the web are any indication. It is very hit or miss but more miss than hit. I have a 4770k that will run 4.2Ghz at 1.25V but takes a full 1.35 to run at 4.3Ghz stable. Generally when you are near your max it can take a huge increase in power to reach the next 100mhz.

When 4770k's were first being reviewed we were seeing quite a few that were reaching 4.6-4.8 but I believe these were probably cherry picked for reviews. If you search around you will see that most people are not reaching near those OCs and 4.2-4.4 is probably a closer average.
