I am new to this forum and im not from uk/us so dont blame me on bad english.
i recently put together my rig: intel 4770k, asus vi hero, amd 7990, corsair vengeance 1600mhz, corsair h80i and seasonic 850 PSU.
So i was trying to overclock my CPU to 4208,4 Mhz on 1.200v, 100.2 base clock and 39x CPU cache ratio, it worked and it was stable so i tried to push it to 4.4 Ghz on 1.225v, 100.2 base clock and 39x CPU cache ratio and it wont co any higher. CPU temperatures are around 35 degrees celcius. I have seen people hitting 4,7 Ghz on 1225v. So what am i doing wrong here, or do i have a bad CPU?
Silicon lottery... The 4770k cpus have ''different'' cpus. If you are lucky you are going to get a good one to OC to up 4.8, if you are not you will end up with a cpu that can only OC to 4.2 that will get high temps.
