So I started my first adventure in overclocking today. I had built a new system last week, asus z87c motherboard, core i5 4670k cpu, coolermaster 212 evo for a heatsink. I had the chip booting at 4.6ghz, but it took me 1.310v to get it there. It also didn't seem overly stable, I was getting crashes after about 10-15 minutes of regular use. Also, the very instant I would try and stress test with prime95 it would crash it out. So I guess my question is, is 4.6 just not really doable on these chips? Should I continue to crank voltage? It already seemed like it was getting pretty high to me. Should I maybe drop clock down to 4.2 and go from there? edit- I guess I should mention full system specs Asus z87C mobo i5 4670k coolermaster 212 evo coolermaster 750W psu MSI Radeon 7790 OC 8gb crucial ballistix Double edit- I guess I should mention at stock clock settings the chip stays around 53-55c while running prime95. I haven't been able to get a heat reading at 4.6 under load because it crashes out to quick every time I load it. letgomyAgo fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Sep 7, 2013 |

I definitely do want the system to last. I tend not to upgrade more then every 2-3 years, so I don't want to roast the chip in 6 months.
