4670k small overclock

joelk2 · 11 Sep 2014 at 16:39

Dear Mr 8Pack Sir,

I have a 4670k and a Gigabyte Z87M-D3H mobo. I would like an over clock in the 4.2-4.4 range which I believe should be easily achieveable on even a bad chip.

I have attached a link to a guide I was trying to use and also some screens of my BIOS. My settings don't appear to be named the same so I really have no clue on which settings I should be changing. I wondered if your kind self could help me.

Here is the link.

Here are the pictures (I apologise if they are big as I'm posting from my one)

so after some more testing. i have got a semi stable 4.2ghz @1.25v its table in the fact i can use my computer as i normally would (well ive only tested 1 game so far - CSGO) but its not stable in the fact that i cant run Prime95 or IBT.

what would be the most CPU intensive game atm?

BF4? DayZ?

4.2 @ 1.25v isnt that good

Can you even boot 4.4/4.5 @ 1.25v ?

Arma 3, Crysis 3, Metro Series, BF4

its awful i know. cant boot at anything higher, get to the logon screen and then crashes.

ive either got the worst overclocking chip on the planet or something else is up.
