Intel God's "Quick & Dirty" OC Guide to 4.4Ghz with Haswell

[nagasama]

Hey guys I'm running a 4670k on an asus maximus vi hero board and cannot for the life of me seem to get my cpu stable past 4.3ghz
I'm fairly new to overclocking so I will take any advice

I set my
all core multiplier to 43
vcore to 1.3
vccin to 1.9
cache voltage to 1.2

cpu cooling = corsair h100i

I got it to run a stress test in aida64 for about an hour and a half then went to bed to let it go overnight and woke up to it restarted and the weird thing is my temps are relatively low...averaging around 65-70 under 100% on the test. So temps arent a problem and I don't really wanna up the voltages much more if I don't have to

ANY IDEAS? I'm stuck lol

I am on the same boat but i am using asrock z87 extreme 4 board i got mines to 4.3 on 1.28v VCCN 2.0 cache 1.2 can not pass 4.3

maybe we just have processors from a bad batch lol

Yeah i guess lol lol or i am not using the right setting either i pass IBT n then get a blue screen on prime95 or i fail IBT

Try going for 44 or 45. With that voltage just about every 4670k should be able to hit 4.4ghz.
Not at your expense but I am extremely happy with my chip. It will do 4ghz at like 1V lol.
What are yalls batch numbers?

I'll have to check the batch number in not sure...I tried an OC guide from ROG Asus website and changed a couple more settings thinking I would be good...downloaded Intel's Tuning Utility and ran a stress test at 4.3 again last night...BSOD after about an hour and a half...it passed one hour no problem though...and my temps never peaked over 80 so I really am not sure whats going on...theres gotta be a setting or some solution to stabilize it lol

My batch # is 3307B199 i try many setting either i fail IBT or get a blue screen on prime95 when i past IBT maybe i am not using the right settings i would love to get it to at least 4.4 my mobo is ASROCK Z87 EXTREME 4

have you adjusted the ring ratio or do you have it set at "auto"? if you havent changed it, try lowering it to 34-36 and see if that stabilizes the overclock. im pretty sure i had to set mine to either 34 or 36 to get it (overnight) stable testing AIDA64 and/or prime. also, are you sure your ram is running its rated speed (as in not overclocked) and at the proper voltage?

where would you find "ring ratio"? i tried messing with my cache ratio but that didnt seem to do much...my ram is set at 1600

multi is at 43
ring is at 35
vcore at 1.28
ring voltage at 1.20
input voltage at 2.0
thats what i need to get to 4.3 trying to get 4.4 but either i do not pass IBT or i pass IBT n get a blue screen on prime95

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

I got my cooler on and temps dropped a hard 20 c now running at 80c 20 minutes into Prime95 with adaptive Vcore of 1.260 with .01 offset at 4.4 ghz. I never touched my CPU Ratio or CPU Cache Voltage. They are still at turbo settings.

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

I set Vcore to 1.270 manual to overide adaptive. Adaptive at 1.260 with an offset of 0.010 hit a max temp spike of 89c and Vcore hit a max of 1.280.

what are u setting for 4.4 i try so many settings either i pass IBT n get a blue screen on prime95 or i get a blue screen on IBT i think my chips does not pass 4.3

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

I didn't touch my CPU Cache Ratio or Cache Voltage. They are stock. I set CPU ratio to 44, Vcore to Manual 1.270, and fans at max. I'm running Prime95 right now. I'm stable thus far. Temps are good, high 50s right now with a Hyper 212 EVO and Arctic Silver 5 paste.

multi is at 43
ring is at 35
vcore at 1.28
ring voltage at 1.20
input voltage at 2.1
thats what i need to get to 4.3 n pass IBT for 10 runs on high n run prime95 for 5 hours i try so many setting n nothing to get to 4.4

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

Are your temps still good?

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

I set my Vcore to 1.250 Manual to test. So far stable.

 

[JAYFRESH1271]

Are your temps still good?

yes right now yes on prime95 with these at 4.3 i hit higher 70s n on IBT on 10 runs on high i hit higher 80s i want to get it to 4.4 but i think i one of those chips that do not overclock beyond 4.3

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

I think your temps are too high to go any further. The difference is negligible between 4.3 and 4.4. I wouldn't recommend going any higher if you are hitting high 80s. I agree with you, you got a bad chip. But 4.3 is still a good OC.

 

[JAYFRESH1271]

I set my Vcore to 1.250 Manual to test. So far stable.

you have a good chip mines at 1.25 will get a blue screen

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

I think I did get lucky. Are you a beginner Overclocker?

EDIT: Oh and along with Prime95 I am also web surfing and listening to music.

yes i am a beginner n before this i had AMD FX8350 n even though i am a beginner it was easier for to overclock AMD i got this chip for FSX. FSX run way better on INTEL

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

Intel's Haswell doesn't overclock as well, but I guarantee you that an I5-4670k at 4.3 will out run a fx-8350 at 5.0 ghz. I'm also a beginner at this.

yes i get better framerates on FSX with this chip than my FX8350 running at 4.7ghz the FX8350 runs good on othe games n apps but for FSX INTEL is the way to go

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

I'm now trying 1.230 Vcore. Still stable.
My batch number is 3328b919

my batch # is 3307B199 Made in costa rica

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

That's supposed to be a good batch.
Down to 1.220 Vcore at 4.4 ghz.
Crashed at 1.220
Back at 1.230 to double check stability.

well i wish it was good i try so many setting to get it to 4.4 like i said i pass IBT but then get a blue screen on prime95 or i will get a blue screen on IBT my mobo is ASROCK Z87 EXTREME4 right now i am using a noctua nh-d14 with 3 fans

 

[DeltaRecon2552]

Oh. My chip isn't that good. I was only running 1 core and didn't know it.
