Overclocking Intel i5 4670K on Asus Maximus VI Impact

[Rothnog]

Hello all!
I´m new to overclocking.
I got Maximus VI Impact with a I5 4670k and a Noctua nh-d14
8gb Vengeance LP 8gb
gigabyte gtx 670 windforce 3x oc 2gb

and also did get Aida64

So how do I start?

Hmm 4.4Ghz should do it.
I want it faster then now and also want it stable:)

[Rothnog]

did run a stress test



How does my temp look?

Your temps look good, try this:


Go into the bios and hit F5 to set defaults, go to the extreme tweaker tab and set the ai overclock tuner to manual and sync all cores. Set the cpu core ratio to 44 and the cpu core voltage 1.25v. F10 and enter.

Run the aida64 stress test to see if you are stable and post your temps for me. If you get a blue screen let me know.

What cpu cooler are you using?

[Rothnog]

Thx again Nate:)
I got a noctua nh-d14.
Going to fix it tomorrow.
Btw My Processor got the Batch number "Batch#: L346C339" is that good or bad? or does it not matter?


Thx again:)

[Nate152]

I don't think it really matters, your cooling is more important and your Noctua cooler should be able to handle those settings easily.

So how did it go with those settings?

[Rothnog]

Naa it dident go so good I got blue screen. 😞
So what to do now?

And again Thx for all the help so faar!

[Nate152]

You're welcome

Before I tell you to raise the vcore list your psu for me please.

[Rothnog]

I have a Corsair HX 750 psu

[Nate152]

Thank You

Raise the cpu core voltage to 1.26v, if it blue screens raise it to 1.27v, if it blue screens again raise it to 1.28v. Keep raising it .01v until stability is achieved then run the aida 64 stress test.
If it doesn't get stable by 1.30v, stop.


Tell me what voltage was needed to get you stable at 4.4Ghz and also post your temps please.
