Trying to reach max overclock for my desktop

Hi,

Can get 4.3ghz on my 4770k @ v1.22 just fine.

Sadly going to get 4.4ghz requires a crazy 1.48 to be stable. Sounds like alot of work for such a small gain. My cooler is the Corsair H100i, keeps it below 85c even with 1.48

Don't want a premature death because I pushed it too hard. 4.3ghz is fine but I am open to some tricks/hints to net a lower voltage for it all.

all cpu's are diffrent, no one is a like, some need more voltages and some less.
on mine at 4.4 i have 1.32v and havent tried to go lower, just put in the voltages by wild guess and it worked.
no crash or nothing.

Sorry account trouble <--- fugrat

I'm guessing 1.48v would be bad longer term, only 100mhz gain so any tricks to get past my voltage wall?

i bet hiviz will be sticking his nose in here not too long and give you a bether ansver then i can do, im stil on gen3 processor so 🙂

Sticking my nose in... LOL

Yeah sadly not all CPUs are going to clock to 5GHz with 1.26 if you are lucky one in a thousand.

For 100Mhz the added voltage is not worth it.

Ya I was afraid of that, thanks for the help. 3.9 to 4.3 isn't too shabby
