Hello, I'm throwing out some overclock questions/help to something kinda outdated... yet still a pretty awesome system.. I'll start by giving you my cad work/gaming pc specs:
Core i7-4770k on an Asus z97-a usb 3.0 mainboard
GTX 1070 Founder's edition 8GB SLI
16GB Corsair dominator DDR3-2133mhz ram
corsair 240gb SSD, 480GB sandisk SSD
1 TB seagate barracuda HDD, 250 GB WD blue HDD
EVGA 750 GQ PSU, Corsair H100i water cooler, 4 additional 120mm fans
Long story short, it's a pretty good machine with very good cooling and temperature is never my issue while overclocking, getting the overclock stable however is. Right now i have 2 cores @ 4.3 GHZ, 2 @ 4.2GHZ with the cache @ 4.1GHZ, manual core voltage @ 1.275V and cache set to manual 1.275V. Every time I try to go all cores 4.3 or 4.4 I get a whea logging error blue screen. I've reseated the cpu and everything in my machine, I've tried overclock through Ai suite and bios, I uninstalled ai suite and just did OC through bios and every time same result. I read that upping the voltage to 1.3 and beyond is dangerous and could ruin my cpu. So I guess my questions are: A. is there any safe way to get all cores to 4.3 and maybe beyond without ruining my chip? B. Do i have to put voltage on auto or adaptive, is it safe to keep on manual at 1.275? since the machine is stable and passes AIDA64 tests, CPU ID bench, furmark cpu test and I can rock any game I want, do my Auto cad work and everything is great. If this is the highest safe, stable level I can get then I'm cool with it, but if it's possible I want to hang with cool kids at 4.3, 4.4, 4.5.... if it's not asking too much out of life. Thank you, I appreciate any response, everytime I have to look up pc stuff, hardware, how tos I always come here and I trust your guy's opinion
