Sounds like a long shot anyway as I'm sure they're both plugged in. Might just be a safety feature on my mobo?

Is there anyway to check in the bios that both cpu 4 pins are plugged into the motherboard?

I did notice that before my overclock my cpu only seemed to turbo up to 4.2 and not the advertised 4.4. Could this be an indication that one of the 2 4pin cpu power cables might not be plugged in properly?

I've not tried to be honest I might just stick to 4.6 if it doesnt make much difference

Its definitely plugged in I have 2 extensions leading from the cpu power cable plugged in there

I hope it's not the motherboard I have a z97 gaming 5

I tried that but the voltage turned red in the bios

I am cooling with an aio. I completed the full hour and the max temperature was 65 degrees. It seems to be stable. I would go for 4.7 ghz or 4.8 but when I try it boots straight to the blue screen

Thanks for your reply. I will have to admit I jumped the gun with that post. The test I was running did not complete. However, I'm currently running at 4.6 ghz at 1.250 v. I'm 35 minutes into a prime 95 stress test and my max temperature is 65 degrees

I've just overclocked my i7 4790k and it's my first ever overclock. The cpu has been delidded and has liquid metal between the dye and ihs. Anyway my overclock, it's running at 4.7 ghz with a core voltage of 1.250. I have intel turbo boost enabled and EIST enabled. I have enhanced turbo disabled...
