About two weeks ago I bought the i5-4670k CPU from microcenter. I've heard about the hit or miss performance of haswell, and it's not looking good. I build my PC last week I have:
MSI Z87-G45
i5-4670k w/ Noctua NH-D14 air cooler
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600MHz
Evga GTX 770 SC
I got CPU-Z, Prime95, and RealTemp to start, and with the stock settings I was at 1.19V running at 3.8GHz I guess due to turbo boost. I set my OC to 4.2GHz for CPU core and 4.1Ghz for ring ratio. I then set the voltage to adaptive and set it at 1.050V for core voltage and 1.025V for CPU ring voltage and loaded my XMP profile for my RAM. When I reset the computer I was sitting at about 1.19V at idle and as soon as I fired up Prime95 it jumped to 1.240V and the computer froze and crashed...
Not sure if I did something wrong in the settings, or I just happen to have a bad haswell chip, and if so any idea if I'd be able to exchange it at microcenter?
Thanks
