Hello everyone!
So I finally decided to overclock my Intel i7 4770k CPU. I have this CPU from the first day it was available but until now I didn't try to overclock it. My motherboard is Gigabyte Z87-UD3H and I use auto settings except the Vcore which is set to 1.280 ( I heard that on Haswell it shouldn't go over 1.300 ) and cache voltage at 1.200 ( I heard that this should be the max ). My CPU frequency is set at 4.6ghz and my CPU cooler is Noctua NH-D14. I stress tested the CPU with Intel Xtreme Utility ( I've read that Prime 95 is not good for Haswell ) for 2 hours without errors and the max temperature was 76 Celsius degrees but it averaged at 70 Celsius degrees. I got this temperatures from HWInfo64.
So my question is: are those temps and voltages safe and is this considered a good overclock?
