Hello everyone,
I've had an i7 4770k since its launch in 2013 and have kept the clock speeds at stock. I have attempted to overclock it a couple of times, but it would never boot up completely which meant I wasn't applying something right; that, or I just had really bad luck with my cpu. I even tried to get my clock speeds to a modest 4.2GHz, but that still didn't work. I think I tried to set the voltage to 1.2 when I did that. Any ideas on what I should do? Is my h80i liquid cooler not good enough for that? I figured it should be. What settings should I apply with my ASUS MAXIMUS VI motherboard bios in order to maybe try to achieve 4.4 or 4.5 GHz?
