Poor overclocking i7 4770k who's had luck of the draw.

My 4770K won't go higher then 4.2 to 4.3GHZ without blue screening.......
same.
I don't 'whitewash' reliability.
I run a 4.5Ghz 4770k with 1.2Volts and have not run a single stress test. It's also never crashed in any OS, Encode or game usage.
So why would I need to stress test, and even if I did, and it crashed - Why should I care? I don't see the point of dialling back an OC that crashed with an AVX stress test when for 100% of my real world usage it will never happen.
because if its not even stress test stable - the CPU could be doing error correction and therefore could be slower than a lower overclock
do you have any WHEA errors in your Windows logs ? any error correction means the CPU has to re-do the calc it had tried to perform - therefore can be slower
My Event Logs are clean as a whistle.
As for errors. For a desktop/gaming machine I could not care less. I'm not compiling code or running complex mission critical simulations.

I have a bad chip and a good chip.
First 4770K is a dog.
Struggles for stability at >4.2 and needs a lot of volts.
Second is much much better.
Quite happy to run 24/7 at 4.8 1.33v and I use it at 5Ghz + for benching.
Delidded to keep the temps in check.

PCZ this thread and the 5GHZ one above it are ruined/off topic due to BS from peeps who claim stressing is not needed as they are too scared to try as they cannot pass on their unstable PC's.
So I am done reading both threads, pity as I was interested in both OP's findings but not reading BS.

Go troll elsewhere.
Nobody cares that you ran your pc for 365 days under a stress test and it's not crashed.
Stress tests are not needed, period.

1) You do not talk for others.
2) Where did I say I ran 1 year, least my PC's were proven stable unlike yours.
3) You rained on the OP's thread with negative crap.
4) You are the troll talking crap in the OP's thread, adding you to ignore as all you do on this forum is talk crap from what I have read of you here (was worth 1 more read as I seen your name at bottom of list to add to ignore).
5) You are clueless period and know you cannot pass them.

You have not even addressed the Opening Post _AT ALL_ Choosing instead to reply once to someone else in the thread.
Both myself and PCZ addressed the Opening Post by posting our 'luck' with the 4770ks we run, EXACTLY what the thread is about. If anyone is talking trash in a thread it is you, whining about nothing because you believe stress testing is needed. Better yet, you decided to copy paste the exact same post into 2 separate threads with no modification at all. Spam much?
All you have done is whine, without good cause. For some reason you seem very very bitter. It sounds like you have a poor clocking 4770k and anyone who has a good one and does not stress test is in your sights. T_T more.
you cant stresstest haswell or they would melt
Tbh this is the problem for me, my particular chip will run insanely hot with prime etc at stock. This is solely intels fault with the shoddy paste job they do. So stress testing with an oc is out of the question. Sure i could delid but bang go's any warranty. Its a poor show when the customer has to finish intels shoddy work and loose their warranty on what is marketed and sold as an overclocking chip.
I can stress test without worry as I delidded mine.
You have to use liquid pro.
No delid and heavy stress testing is not possible,
Which also means no heavy apps such as encoding can be run either.
Unless you are running at default voltage and near stock core speeds,
Doesn't matter if good air, water etc, no delid and temps will hit the roof.

yep,highest I could go on non delid 3770k was 4.5ghz and the temps were 81-83c I didn't wanna try higher,once delidded voltages weren't an issue and could manage 4.8ghz max stress in ibt and around 77c
without delidding your gonna struggle to push for a high oc or do any hard stress testing imo even more so on haswell

94c in seconds under p95 here, it would be way over that now as i had to up vcore since then due to whea errors in game. Tbh your in a catch 22 situation. To run stress tests your gonna hit very high temps, if you delid you loose the warranty at the least, at very worst you could kill the chip.
