Hello smegmer
You have a very good 4770k if you can pass the realbnch stress test with 1.198v at 4.4GHz and is a good stress testing program to use. Trust what cpu-z says and don't run ai suite with cpu-z, they will conflict with each other and give you inaccurate readings. If ai suite is showing 2.000v that obviously is not correct or your cpu would be dead.
You can run it in manual mode and have your cpu stay at your overclock or you can use adaptive or offset mode to drop the frequency and voltage when at idle, I personally choose to run mine in manual mode.
if you want to use adaptive, set the cpu core voltage to adaptive then enter your voltage 1.198v in the "Additional turbo voltage" enter in an offset of -.001v or +.001v. Be sure the windows power plan is set to balanced then check cpu-z to see if frequency and voltage has dropped.
With max temp of 71c during the realbench stress test you can try for 4.5GHz - 4.6GHz, your Noctua cooler should get you there as it is one of if not the best air cpu coolers.
To overclock higher and you have room to push higher, set the cpu core ratio to 45 and cpu core voltage to 1.24v if it fails the test set it to 1.25v and test again. keep adding .01v until you can pass the test. You can overclock until temps hit 90c with realbench then you know you're at the limit. I don't like to leave it at 90c for too long though as cpu degredation could start setting in.
Use Realtemp 3.70 and ROG cpu-z for monitoring, do not have ai suite open in fact I would recommend uninstalling it and then run this cleaner.

I don't consider myself a pro but I do have my 3770k at 5.0GHz. 🙂

Hey! Almost gave up hope on getting a reply from someone so thank you for taking your time to respond to my thread!
Thanks I think so too seems like alot of people need alot more volt to even oc less then I've done, so I'm pretty happy with my sample!
Yes I'm using rog cpu-z and in that program my vcore says 1.198 (and Btw I meant 1.200 vcore in ai suit not 2.000 my bad sorry)
Yes I've read that to about the tempreading software are supposed to run one at the time. (using Realtemp as we speak)
I've have already uninstalld ai suit (the only reason I installed it was because of the fan profile stuff but that worked terribly so Ive set my fan profile straight in bios). The link you gave me worked but Ive got a error code while running the file (tough I have a very good clean up software that erase every thing down to registrylevel so I think I've got it all erased anyway) but thanks for the link and tip!
I think I leave my volt at manual for now kind of like it that way and I don't care if it draws more power, bur if I ever in the future change my mind I'm really grateful for the information regarding offset and adaptive volt.
I'm currently playing the Witcher 3 with everything set to ultra+++ and all the other setting as high as it goes, and it flows super smooth haven't had a single noticeable lag, glitch, drop not anything at all so it does the job perfectly my Cpu is steady at 52 highest core temp (bearly hearing the noctua nh d15) and the 290 at 63 highest temp (with a manual fan curve at about 25% to 70 degrees and after that 35% up to 90 degrees.
I will tough aim for 4.5 4.6 for the fun of it som day when I have the time, think I will be able to do that at maybe 1.250 volt at highest but that's just a guess from my side, looking forward to it tough:)
With a 5.0 3770k it sounds like you know what you are talking about 🙂
Thanks for your time and I hope more people join in to discuss and compare 🙂
