Overclocking voltage question

[opio]

So I have an MSI z87m gaming edition, I just use the overclock genie which puts my haswell 4770k at 4 ghz and my XMP profile running at 2400 mhz with a cas latency of 9. If I wanted to go higher would I need to adjust voltage? I noticed that the OC genie puts my CPU in fixed mode rather than adaptive. Would just like some advice on overclocking higher, when I have put it at like 4.3 gigs I get memory dumps every once in awhile. Should I put it on fixed? adaptive? The voltage right now is at 1.1v right now I believe.

Set everything on auto, set the multiplier higher and it'll OC higer. when you reach 4.3-4.4GHz, check your VCore. It should not go beyond 1.3V in any case. Your VCore seems fine. Adaptive VCore would be better. If you've the confidence to tweak a bit set the VCore to 1.2V and try to OC to 4.3GHz, you may get BSOD. Or you may disable LLC and then try to OC to 4.3Ghz with a bit higher VCore, like 1.25V. Don't go beyond 1.3V in general.

What if I keep getting memory dumps I just got a memory dump today with just the OC Genie on. I heard it may have something to do with the registry, any advice on that?

You may want to run CCleaner to check for bad registry or do a system restore. I'd also check the pc with MalwareBytes, Avast and a couple of other antivirus for viruses.
