Hello, When I upgraded to above system I've reached 4.4Ghz with very little tweak (see pictures) and wonder what I should change to make system more stable ... or reach 4.5GHZ.
As far as I remember I have done 7-8h prime95 at that time, however I get random BDOS during gaming (rarely) and dropped to 4.2ghz couple weeks ago as I think it might be due to OC.

Isn't CPU Voltages are high? (during stress test it reaches- 1.31 VID (in AID and RealTemp), GPU-Z shows 1.24V. (?))

Here are couple pictures with my 4.4ghz profile saved in BIOS, any tips and corrections would be appreciated.
(sorry for big pictures, uploaded via android)

THANK YOU

Ur prime95 is out of date i think.

Prime 95 is junk!!!! just use your PC as you would normally for testing and adjust from this.

For 4.5,

Set Ratio all cores to 45.
Disable Spread Spectrum
Remove that 4.4ghz Profile setting.
VCCSA 1.1
VTT 1.1
Vcore 1.3v

Test!!!

Hello, so I just restore defaults and apply your settings? will report back once tried, thank you

Hi, tried your settings and after 10min of prime95 had blue screen. temperature was 65C top. thanks

Duno if u have same options as me but if you have load line calibration set it to about medium or high, set the volts to about 1.250 maybe i dunno for abotu 4.4-4.5ghz. Find if u have vcore voltage response and set it to "fast" and PWM Phase control to Extreme perf. See how that goes. All other settings auto or default cept bclk to 100. Oh and XMP if ur mb and ram supports it, means less faffing on with ram settings when overclocking.

Epic sad face one of the best over clockers in the country said that prime 95 is and I quote "junk" why use it.

The only stability test you need is to use your system normally as prime has unrealistic loads.

Just play a game and do what ever you normally do if it blue screens mess around with the settings again.

If you do this you will find that you have a fully stable system with a little effort and you will achieve higher over clocks.

My system could not even stay at a reasonable temp at stock running prime but I have over clocked my CPU from 3.1 to 4.4 and still with safe temps but if I ran prime like this it will require the help of the fire service.

What was the BSOD code. this will help us ascertain where you need to tweak. Just use the system then man and adjust if nec. from that.

9 times out of 10, if you get BSOD while doing Prime 95, you usually just need more vcore. My 3770K needs around 1.328v vcore to be stable at 4.5
