Dear fellow overclockers,
I need your help (obviously)
I am quite new in this overclocking business but I recently bought a 4690k and I thought I will give it a go.
First I scrolled through this forum and managed to collect some general information and basics about my chip and about OC'ing in general.
After installation I managed to raise the frequency to 4.2 with leaving VCore at 1.2V. I also dropped Uncore to 3.3 at 1.05V as was one of the suggested things to do.
Also have tried 4.4 and 4.3 but Windows didn't boot up and it had stability issues respectively, so I went back to 4.2.
Life was good, have played few demanding games most of them on very high or sometimes on ultra but after a month or so I thought that I would like to know if I can push this chip a little bit further (as you do). Especially after I noticed some lag while playing GTA V (rural areas).
So, I came back to read some more about the topic, and after some experimenting I have done the following:
Set core multiplier to 45 and VCore to 1.265V, and raised Uncore to 40 at 1.195V
Boot up properly, run AIDA64 test for an hour, no problems. Temperature between 65 and 75 during test. So far so good, right?
Started a game, no crash, things looking fine.
Then I have tried Core at 46. Boots up with VCore at 1.28V but BSOD after a minute of AIDA64 test. Temperatures were okay.
Then raised to 1.3V with same results.
So I went back to Core at 45 with VCore at 1.265V to my last stable setup.
Then I installed Linx to run some serious testing, just in case.
As you can expect from the title, it failed. After pressing Start, the PC reboots instantly. Tried again, same happened.
So I guess my OC is not that stable after all...
What shall I do next? Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?
Could it be the Uncore?
