I've attempted a OC on my 4820k about 3 times now the first time I've tried I had to reset the cmos the other times I just had a BSOD
And the final last time was using the Msi over clock genie and although it launched and worked for abit it eventually ended up crashing and would boot up to a BSOD
My rig
Msi x79a-gd45
I7 -4820k
Asus gtx 1070 strix
H80i watercooler
2x8 corsair vengeance ram running at 1333
Please help

I wouldn't use an overclock genie, they usually are a little aggressive with voltage. Here's a fast way to get a stable overclock the easy way if you want to try.

1. Change your VCore to 1.30V (most intel recommends for long term use)

2. Step up your multiplier by 1 until your computer can no longer boot into windows without crashing

3. Set the multiplier to the last stable one that booted into windows

4. Stress Test for 30 minutes or so with a program of your choosing, I'd recommend AIDA64

5. If it doesn't crash, you now have a stable overclock. If it does, step up your VCore by 0.02V until it doesn't crash.

6. If you should so choose and your CPU was stable at 1.30V, step down the VCore by 0.01V every once in a while. If it...

6. If you should so choose and your CPU was stable at 1.30V, step down the VCore by 0.01V every once in a while. If it ever crashes, reset it to the last stable value. This will reduce your heat and long term power consumption.



Hope this helps a bit.
