I read some guides before trying to oc, what I understand is try to manipulate multipliers and core voltages to make the system stable.
I did the test that checks where is my cpu stand ( above or below avg)
i tuned my cores x46 at 1.200v i was able to pass UEFI screen to windows starting screen then it gave me blue screen so i assume I'm in the upper 50%.
after that I tried about +20 combinations but all of them failed, some failed before stress testing other failed under aida64.
here is a list:
x44 at 1.25v 1.275v 1.29v failed before even stress testing and windows login screen 1.3v failed after stress testing
x46 at 1.2v 1.25v 1.275v 1.6v 1.27v 1.28v 1.29v 1.31v 1.32v 1.35v all failed before stress test and login to windows
x45 at 1.275v 1.3v failed before stress test 1.35v 1.33v 1.32v failed under stress test
I have custom water cooling the highest temp i ever seen while stress testing was 67c
am I missing something or my luck is very bad with this cpu
edit:
mobo: asus z87 sabertooth
UPDATE:
i manged to overclock the cpu to 4.4ghz at 1.3v but whenever I change the voltage to adaptive i get a blue screen when windows try to boot
