4.4GHz Super Stable. 4.6GHz BSOD. Need advice.

[JANSHIM]

Hello,

I have a Gene V running i7-3770K at a very stable 4.4GHz for photo processing. No crashes at sustained 100% CPU loads (Noctua cooler keeps temps up to 70 deg C) on all cores. CPU Vcore at 1.208v, VID 1.216v, Multiplier 44 x Base Clk 100.5. It's been a year since I tweaked the board and I have to say I've gone rusty and can't remember what parameters I should be looking at to get it to run 4.6GHz without tripping a blue screen during boot. Should I increase CPU voltage?

Most likely it's that cpu voltage you may need to bump but make sure to verify a safe voltage for your specific cpu.

Also, you may have hit the ceiling of the cpu. Try bumping the multiplier up to achieve a stable 4.5, then work your way up to 4.6 when your confident about it being stable.

Also 70+℃ temps, even for an Intel product, is starting to push it.

Are you able to get the 4.6 running long enough to monitor the temps before it crashes?

Try bringing the noctua cooler fan speeds to 90+% too.

Hey guys I am new to overclocking and I managed to oc my cpu to 4.6ghz at 1.25v. My question is what is the max volts I can pump into my cpu without killing it?
