Overclocking i5 4690k to 4.6 ghz

[BattlePhenom]

Hi, I recently got an i5 4690k and an MSI Z97 Gaming 5 mother board. Naturally, I'm looking to oc and have a goal to achieve a 4.6 ghz stable oc. So far I'm at 4.5 ghz stable at 1.24 volts. Everytime I go for 4.6 ghz I get instability with bsod's. I've tried numerous fixes. I started out at 1.25 volts and moved to 1.26 and then 1.27. Still got bsod at 1.27 volts. I've had 0 issues posting and booting. So with that I'm at a crossroads of whether I should try 1.28 volts or if I'm missing something else.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Usually with overclocking, once the system crashes, you want to add 0.025 volts to the cpu core. Thats typically what people do. I was doing the same as you are and it wouldnt work so i started over. I started at 1v at 4.0ghz and went up to 4.1ghz and it was stable then 4.2ghz crashed to i bumped up the voltage to 1.025v and then 4.2ghz was stable. I should also mention that im on a 4790K. So far im at 4.6ghz stable and almost at 4.7 stable at 1.29v
