Help a noob Overclock

Hi guys,

Firstly, the screenies I have below are not what I'm running, I did have a stable 4.3 ghz but wouldn't mind trying to get to 4.5/4.6 really.

After following a guide I have come to the conclusion these should be my settings, however, I have no confidence in my ability so wouldn't ever put them into play without asking the Pro's first.

So, what should I amend, I think the voltages are pretty high?

Haswell 4770k
Gigabyte X870C
H100i

Don't ridicule me please

Cheers

Is it stable and are temperatures ok? What stress tests have you run?

Andybtsn · 20 Sep 2013 at 14:48

No, I just went with the setup in the end and it blue screens ont he combined test on 3DMark11. This is far as I got as I'm not always at the house where the PC is present.

What would you recommend I change first? The temps seem ok so not sure I want to up the voltages anymore?

Just tried Prime and it BSOD after about 30 seconds. Temps were around 70oC!

Any help would be appreciated!

never try prime it is a bad program the only stability test you should do is to use it as you normally would this is the best stress test of all.

Well even 3dmark it bsod on cpu test. I can only think I got a really bad chip

I'm an amateur but have you tried running 2 cores at 4.6 and 2 at 4.5?
