Bot, save your time; 20% of 4770Ks have a max OC of 4.7ghz. I'd set the multiplier to that, leave everything else on auto and see if it works. If you can get that stable then great and try for higher. Most likely that will be it or 4.6 like the the other 70% of the 4770Ks.

Well, damn. I wasn't sure if I was going to try and go any higher, but I am stable here, so I guess I will leave it.

Looking good! Working on overclocking right now on mine!

how are your temp during testing?

Idle is 35C and Load is about 40C-45C... So far...

 

[NotAnalGrap]

Nice! My idle is about 40c right now and is hitting 70c on prime. A little high for my taste but I am one the second floor and the ac hasn't fully cooled down the room yet.

 

[bot102]

Nice. I'll have to run Prime when I get home. And actually let it run for a bit lol

So I can't seem to stay stable above 4.2ghz regardless of the voltage I apply. Anyone have any suggestions?

I did mine through the ASRock OC utility. May be try the ASUS utility and see?

Seems to be the case, 4.5 here, anything past and *crash*. Not a fan of this mobo though (Asus Z87 Pro)...the only Asus board I've had that I'm slightly disappointed in.

4.3 stable for me. anything higher and crashes even with voltage tweaks

All goes back to what Sixer said I guess

I have mine at 4.2 GHz at 1.2 volts. I wanted to get to 4.4 or 4.5 but have not put the effort into it. here is one of the best articles I found about overclocking. I am on h20 and 33c idle and never got above 64c with prime so I have plenty of cooling. Bf4 I run about 55c.

so I've got mine stable at 4.3Ghz at 1.230 volts. Going to try to ease it down another .010 volts and see if it is still stable.
Sadly, my temps at this speed/voltage are about 78C when running prime.

So why are you overclocking the 4770k? It makes no difference in games unlike the older processors. Why not just run it at stock speeds?

 

[OfftheRails]

Case looks very familiar bot. Nice choice.

I was not aware of this phenomenon

It helps on other things. It sure does not hurt anything to overclock.
