Hi!
First of all these are my specs
i7 4770k
msi z97 xpower ac
gtx 970 windforce
corsair h110
corsair ax850
corsair vengeance 16gb 1600mhz (runs at 1333mhz)
samsung 840 evo 1tb
I only want to overclock my CPU since the game I play is badly optimized(doesn't use all cores) and is CPU intensive (Arma 3)
I have watched a few videos and read up on it a bit before i started.
Programs I'm using to test are:
CPU-Z, RealTemp and LinX
I have tried 4.5ghz at 1.25 volts and got BSOD (voltage on auto)
Tried 4.2ghz at 1.24 volts and ran the benchmark.. the temps jumped from 32C right up to 90C within seconds and then hovered around 50C - 75C and sometimes jumping to 93C for a split of a second (voltage on override mode)
I then tried 4.0ghz at 1.20 volts and got the same results as the 4.2ghz test (Voltage on override mode)
I have no clue if these readings are correct and it kind of scared me when it jumped to 93C for a second.
Can you guys give me a hand?
Also I'm only doing this since my friend who i play with has an 2600k overclocked to 4.5ghz and he gets about 20more frames then me. Same GPU and monitor resolution
