Hello
I just started to OC' for the first time. I pretty much followed/used JJ's tips/settings on this video for the most part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7zPu9255ZI and read up on this thread to get some more insight. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1722630/intel-god-quick-dirty-guide-4ghz-haswell.html
Since I'm relatively new to all this I'm not overly concerned in achieving extreme or high overclocks. And to be completely honest the only settings I changed in the BIOS was the multiplier(Sync All Cores) and set the Vcore to manual, that's basically all i did and left everything else to either default or Auto.
Not sure if this is considered high or not but I went for 44x Multiplier 4.4Ghz@ 1.170Vcore. I originally started with a Vcore@1.190v and started to work the voltage down increments of .5 or .10 until the system crashed using IBT@High/10 Runs. The lowest Vcore was 1.165v since it crashed at run 6/10 IBT@High. So "i think" 1.170v was the safest/stable voltage I personally thought with the highest Temp being 86c on one core. .
So i decided to test it on Prime95@Blend settings and thought it was going to go far but it didn't. I think it crashed somewhere between 5-10min because I went to make myself some lunch and when I came back it already failed. So what do I do from here if i wan't to pass Prime95? Keep increasing Vcore and run Prime95 for a 30min-1hr or something to find if my system is stable with that Vcore setting then do a 6hr+ test?
Played SWTOR for about an hour with same settings and Load Temps where between 38c-45c(Occasional spikes but never really exceeded over 51c)
System Specs
Corsair 500r
Asus Z87Pro V-Edition
i5 4670k
Noctua NH-U14s
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X @1866
1TB WD Black Performance
Corsair TX650w
XFX 5770 1GB
OS Windows 8.1
Any help would be highly appreciated.
