Alright guys.

I'm just having a mess about with my build. I was using the built-in Asus BIOS tweaker to overclock and noticed my vcore was 1.35 which seems high when reading other peoples overclocks.

I've found the point at which my system crashed which was recorded at 1.19 vcore. So I've bumped it up to 1.23 boost vcore and left the dynamic non boost to auto (system spends a lot of time idling)

How does this look?



I can't get the BCLK above 100 when using 1.23 vcore. Does this matter? Just upgraded my RAM to 2x8GB G.Skill TridentX which is running as XMP.1 @ 1.65v

I'm completely out of knowledge since my last system was an i5-2500K.
 
1.35vlts for 4.7Ghz on a Haswell DC is pretty much as expected .

As long as you can keep your temps under control when using the PC as you need it, there's nothing to worry about.
 
Yeah 1.35 is fine as long as your cooling handles it ok. Don't worry about overclocking the base clock, just stick the multiplier. I would google an overclocking guide for your mobo, it will give you somewhere to start and an idea of what to do.
 
Don't overclock the uncore , an overclocked uncore makes little difference vs unclocked.

Can you elaborate? What is a uncore? Looked on net for it and all I can find is a load of people arguing about it.

Read page one it will explain all is a good guide, as you can see he's done tests of overclocked ringbus/uncore vs unclocked and there's little difference and overclocking the uncore can add instability faster.You can achieve better clocks on less volts by leaving uncore on default.
 
Struggling to see that picture. Try printscreening and uploading to imgur next time.

1.35 isn't that high.
Although if you manually overclock you will get the same speed with less voltage.
My 4790k reaches 4.7 at 1.280 and I get 4.8 at 1.328
