My current setup:
Gigabyte Z97 SOC
I5 4670k ( stop gap, getting friends 4790k soon)
Kingston savage x 16gb 2400mhz DDR3
AIO Raijinek CPU Cooler (65c max temps on load)

I had it running on turbo on stock intel cooler and realbench benchmark was around 99k (3.8ghz) and i have it running at 4.2ghz and its giving me a lower result (System Score 86443). Any idea?

I get a windows 10 error and it says system will automatically restart when i try to go higher than 4.2Ghz at the same volts and im currently using 1.3v! Seems i have a bad clocker? Any help/advice would be much appreciated as i am new to this type of bios. (Just upgraded from 1366).
 
No luck at all. Anything over 4.2 seems unstable and even at 4.2 im getting 85k on the realbench benchmark:confused:. During a certain part of the benchmark cpuz and coretemp was showing the voltage as 1.377? even when majority of the time it was at 1.276v. I set the offset as 0.85 and cpu voltage as normal :confused:

Edit:
I lowered the voltage in bios and im now getting:

Realbench: System Score 110887
Cinebench: 630cb

Do these seem right for 4670k @ 4.2Ghz?

Im more concerned about the voltage spikes that are happening when i run that realbench, its the only application it seems to happen with. But ill give that a go with the ram.

If you are using cinebench version R15 you score looks about right for a 4.2Ghz chip.

Some guy is at 665 for a 4.6Ghz 4670K.

Thanks, I used your settings from your thread and made some small changes and it is stable at 4.2ghz. When i run it at max load it is showing in cpuz and core temp as 1.277v but on the open cl part of realbench it has little hissy fit and shows up as 1.377? Anything to worry about? cinebench does not make it spike in volts! Is there anything else i can try to squeeze as much as i can out of this chip? Does not seem to be the best clocker so far or i am doing something wrong.

Temps are never really abouve 65c max load.
