MSI Z87 Mpower ( no max) with 4770k @ 4400mhz, what do you think?

[Calibra3]

Hello I am Enrique from Spain.
Please , first sorry for my bad english.

Well, I have this motherboard and I try to do overclock to the 4770k , and I have done 4400mhz , with the help of this forum( reading some posts) and others.
I think that the vcore it is to high for this speed, but If I lower it then I have a BSOD in Windows 8.1 . Always de error 0x124
The cpu-id read a 1.312v for the processor and I have a temps over 70º C ( if I remember) at full load with thermaltake water cooling. I have use the X264 bench ( 10 loops to the pass 2 that it is more stressing) and Realbench 2.0 beta.
It is possible that my processor is a piece of crap???

I post some pics of my bios. I would like your opinion.
I have test the 4500mhz with 1.389v and is not stable , and I think that this voltage is very very very high.

I have 16gb kingston hyperX set at ddr3-1600 with 1.65v

You should change a couple of things in bios….

SB PLL - change to either auto or LC. SB is for higher bclk and induces more noise.
XMP - enable if the ram has XMP profile
Memory fast boot - disable
SVID - can leave on auto
Core voltage - Best to OC with it on override to find max clock then change to adaptive. If using offset i'd suggest fixing core value then adding offset on top. If you're using 1.67 cpu-z then you're probably sitting about 1.33vcore which isn't out of the ordinary for 4.4ghz. Not the greatest of chips but not the worst.
Ring voltage offset - Shouldn't need any with ring at stock. Again, if using offset set fixed vring then add offset or OC using override and change once max oc.
SA/IOA/IOD - leave on auto. You won't need to adjust these till either a) helping to raise uncore on a high OC or b) OC'ing RAM.
Internal VR (both) - Can disable which may help OC
CPU/digi power features - can leave all on auto. Auto Vdroop on that board is 100% but i manually set it anyway.

[email protected]… I wouldn't on that cooler. You'll be running over 1.4v in the real world with a DMM.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Doug.
I will try and tell you the results.

Can you test lower overclocks first and see how the chip goes in terms of stability at around 4.2 and volts needed.

AUTO SA, IOA, IOD is all you need on those rails.

Do simple XMP, Multi, CPU voltage to start with. Ring ratio auto also.

One more thing.

I have stable under load at 4.4 Ghz, but I have randow resets at idle after turn on the tower and past 5 minutes.

I have see that this mobo at idle , put the vcore below the VID 1.024v . I have see 0.032v . It is possible that this is the problem??? How I can fix, that the mobo don't drop the voltaje below the vid???
