Upgrade from the 4770k ?

Checked again in Bios, upto 4.1ghz its 1.1v

from 4.1 to 4.5v its 1.3v (pushed to 4.5 this time to see )

Stability within windows appears to be fine though.

Am I best holding back at 4.1?
 
they tend to jump in big numbers, so it'll sit and idle at 30 then jump to 40 but jump back down to 30 again

The average doesn't seem much higher than on stock though
 
Manually set voltage to 1.35 and cpu clock to 4.5ghz.

Is this a wise move? temps seem stable around 30-40 low use and 50-60 under a full load.
 
When auto set it was higher, but someone above said set it manually, so I set it to 1.35v manually @ 4.5GHZ

Should I keep lowering the voltage until its unstable and ? is that the goal here?
 
Not done any testing no, this is literally the first time i have EVER overclocked.

So yeah my noobishness is showing, anyway Im at 4.6Ghz (Took it up while on the higher volts) and 1.25V , Would this be considered safe to leave it here? or should I keep going down with the volts ?
 
Ok so that test was revealing, sadly I had to keep raising the volts as it kept crashing.

Currently running 4.6Ghz at 1.28V
