Hi,
I seem to be having issues getting a mild overclock on my 4770k. Currently I have it running stable at 4.2GHz with the following changes done to BIOS. Everything else in BIOS are set to default.
4.2GHz Settings:
Multiplier 42x
Vcore: 1.18v
XMP profile Enabled
With the above settings, everything is stable (18+ hours AIDA)
Now, when I try pushing it to 4.4GHz everything is stable under load (100 rounds IBT, 12 hours AIDA), but once my computer starts idling (usually 15 minutes or more), or even when I am using it for light activity like browsing the Internet or watching YouTube, it will shut off completely randomly, and when my computer turns back on, BIOS gives me the following message:
“Previous overclock settings have failed”.
4.4GHz Settings:
Multiplier 44x
Vcore: 1.26v
VCCIN: 1.9
I have tried getting closer to a 1:1 clock/ring ratio and that didn't help. Nor did increasing the ring voltage. I have also tried adjusting the Vcore by increments of 0.01v all the way up to 1.30v, as well as increasing and decreasing the VCCIN voltage. Adjusting System Agent voltage also seems to have no effect, nor does disabling all C-States via BIOS. I am fairly certain that my Windows install is fine and is not causing the problem. Sometimes if I turn on the computer from a cold boot I get a black screen for 5 seconds before that message appears. I am running out of ideas. Do you guys have any ideas or on what it could be?
Thanks.
