Hi everyone, I had this computer built over a year now through a friend that have done it before but he never done a computer for OC.

Motherboard: MAXIMUS VI IMPACT
Processor: I7-4770K
Memory (part number): KINGSTON 16GB 1600MHZ DDR3 CL10 HYPERX
Graphics Card #1: GIGABYTE R9 270 X 2GDDR5
Monitor: 2X HP2311x
Storage #1: SAMSUNG SSD 250GB SERIE 840 EVO BASIC
Storage #2: HDD WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB SATA III 64MB - BLUE
CPU Cooler: TACENS GELUS LITE III+
Case: CORSAIR OBSIDIAN 250D
Power Supply: CORSAIR VS650 650W
Keyboard: LOGITECH WIRELESS MK270
Mouse: LOGITECH PERFORMANCE MX
OS: WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 64bits

These spec were suggested by him but since I had it, I haven't be able to OC, maybe because I'm a total nob but sure, It can't be that difficult. I have been reading a bit and watching few videos and everytime I try, it goes in BSOD (doing from AL suite 3 or from the bios).
I took it to a shop while working abroad and they suggested that the CPU cooler wasn't good enough and told me to buy the "Hydro Series H100i", I ended up buying it and it's been a waste of money because it still going into BSOD even with as little as 4.0 ghz.

I will really appreciate if any of you could bring some light!!

Thanks and sorry for my english

i let the asus AI Suite utility overclock the CPU for me. i didn't even bother with the BIOS. it's just too much work these days. it was automatically overclocked from the 3.5 GHz stock speed to 4.9GHz on all cores. it tuned all the voltages too. has been rock solid since Augist 31st of last year, which was when the X99 platform and Haswell-E came out.

the best thing is that the CPU still throttles down all the way to 1GHz when I am not doing anything stressful, so it doesn't eat too much poer for no reason. but i should note that my CPU is water cooled.

I've try to keep raising my clock to 4.4 with 1.2 vcore with AI suite but as soon as It's done, BSOD!. Is there any other setting that could help? I'll try raising the vcore a bit more and let you know.


Thanks

With 4.4GHz, try 1.25v as a base line and go from there.
