Hi Guys,

4 days ago I formated my computer.
After the format I overclocked my cpu up to 4.6Ghz (in the bios)
Today 4 days later i wanted to check if i could get any higher, so i added 0.2 Ghz.
But unfortunately all i get was a blue screen, probably because te system was unstable.
So i changed it back to 4.6Ghz but now i also get a blue screen... :s
The highest i can go now is 4.4Ghz.
Does any one know why now i suddenly get the blue screen at 4.6Ghz?
My system was stable and no problems occurred.
No voltage was added just selected in the bios to overclock te cpu.

I just enable Advanced turbo 30
and then i changed it to 4.6Ghz;





Thx for the help and the ansers.

Hey,
I have the i7-3770K, and the way I overclocked was to change the MULTIPLIERS manually.

1C - x43
2C - x43
3C - x42
4C - x42

So even under heavy load I don't drop below 4.2GHz (Task Manager shows it as 4.16GHz).

I did the above without messing with the voltage. I found that going higher than 4.3GHz required more voltage but that really increased the TEMPERATURE more than I liked, even though I have a really good CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D14).

Also,
The real-world difference of gaining 200MHz is insignificant. 46/44 = 4.5%

In gaming that's probably no more than 2% at best.

Summary:
I don't know exactly how to tweak your BIOS as it's a bit different than mine (I could if I was there but I can't give exact advice from here), but I...

From the screens you posted it seems that you are not actually overclocking it, you're just turning up the Turbo. But to answer your question, all chips have a limit - and even the same type of chip can produce different results and have different limits. You have just found the limit.

Summary:

Finally, the PRESETS tend to raise the voltage higher than carefully tweaking manually.

*4.4GHz Turbo is probably where you should stay. (that's probably 4.2GHz under heavy load)

I enabled the turbo 30, but i also changed the Ghz of the cpu.
I can select a profile or i can set each core at 4.6ghz in the bios.
Didn't i overclock the cpu then? In Real temp GT i reach a 4.6Ghz on the cpu. (now 4.4Ghz)
So i think i dont just enabled the turbo but also increase the GHz.
But i find it strange that i could get 4.6Ghz the first few days, after increasing it to 4.8Ghz and setting it back to 4.6Ghz it get the blue screen.
And i now just get 4.4Ghz en no 4.6Ghz anymore...
