I bought this PC one week ago it is my first new system. xD
This was a huge thing for me since Ive been taking apart PC's since the age of 5 I am 23 now so have had lots of experience with computers i had just never been in the situation where i could afford one and then my amazing GF put a substantial amount towards it :)

I decided after 3 days that the stock cooling system wasn't going to cut it so i ordered a H100I before checking the case compatibility xP (noob mistake i know)

Anyway i would be honored to join the ranks of the intel overclocker's i am also intrigued of what sort of speed people are getting on there 4670K's since i am still unsure if i have a good or bad cpu.

Edit:

1.Had to take the clock down to 4.5 due to crash while using prime95 which makes no sense to me since i ran intel burn on very high with Furmark for an hour and had no issues with heat.

2. Stable at 4.5 now recducing the voltage to 1.25

Looking forward to seeing me included! Let me know if my previous post is missing anything! Thanks for putting this together!
 


A little more of "off-topic".

You can try with changing the reference clock to 104-105, keeping the RAM under specs and rising multiplier again with only two cores. Will give you more higher frequency ;)

eh..tops out @ 103.6 ..125 strap does not work when using dedicated gfx.This board does not unlink the pcie slot.

nice overclock did you change the cpu input voltage (VCCIN) to keep it stable or just on stock?

It's at stock, but i have it at 4.5ghz and 1.22v for daily usage.

Need anything else?
 
@ DTH, Your 5,000mhz second screenshot shows IBT did not complete, your bottom screenshot with IBT successfully completed, only shows a 1900mhz clock in CPU-Z?

To claim 5,000mhz stability you'll need a screenshot at 5,000mhz with IBT successfully completed, and a CPU-Z validation of the 5,000mhz clock.

A CPU-Z validation separately provided does not prove 5,000mhz stability unless it was achieved at the same time the IBT was run, so it should all be on the same screenshot.

Here's a suggestion, If you pull 2 of those memory modules 4 x 4 = 16gb to 2 x 4 = 8gb in your primary slots you may have an easier time stabilizing 5,000mhz clock with 8gb of memory.

Sorry I'm new to this stuff...

The one screenshot was while it was running and the other was from when the IBT was completed. So do I run the test and leave the results open, and run the test again? This is not my area of expertise... I did the CPU-Z validation thing but wasn't too sure how to share the results...
 


Have CPU-Z open, desktop visible displaying the clock speed then run the IBT stress test, when IBT successfully completes take your screenshot, if your overclock is BIOS set with speed step disabled, it should still show a 5ghz clock speed when IBT has completed it's testing.

Showing 5ghz clock confirmation with CPU-Z running and the IBT successful completion at the 5ghz clock, is solid confirmation of the overclock.

Not bad for a traditional water cooling loop setup by the way! :)

Like I said, I'm a noob. I don't even know what speed step is, I simply used Ai Suite 3 and it set everything automatically. Will do that later today, thanks.

i don't want to sound sceptical but i could post the same image doing the test and changing the clock speed in alsuite opening cpu-z and looking like i just completed a 5ghz test, but congratulations on getting the best i5 4670k chip there is
