Overclock help on 4690k

[Jared133]

Recently got a 4690k, and have been trying to overclock to 4.3, and have tried the vcore from 1.2-1.29, and I would bsod every time, pretty new to overclocking so tbh all I really did was turn the multiplier to 4.3 and up the vcore, temps were fine, and were below 65, any tips?

Try changing the VCCIN to ~1.85v whilst keeping the vcore at 1.25v

Well, I just put everything to default and still bsod'd in the middle of a game, so I'm not sure right now

Also, is prime95 a good way to stress test because alot of people say it's very harsh on the cpu, and if so how long should i test it for.

Check your RAM. Run memtest 86 and prime 95 blend.

Trying this out right now, I'll get back to you on how it goes.

Also, how long is enough on prime95?

I've always heard about 8-24 hours to make sure it runs through all the possible combinations. I would suggest Asus ROG RealBench 2.2 stress test though for a more real world test. I've had 8 hours on prime stable and then had realbench BSOD after 35 minutes before. It runs an image editor an openCL render engine and handbrake encoder simultaneously which is very stressful and more illustrative of the kinds of loads you would expect in daily use. The 4 hour test on that should be more than enough but to be sure you can run the full 8 hours.

Will try it out, thanks

When I run it, do I want this both checked or do I leave it how it is?

Truth be told I'm not entirely sure about the way LuxMark works but I think its mostly part of the stress test because it stresses your GPU as well to make sure all systems are stable together. I don't think its going to do anything unless you have your iGPU on the actual CPU enabled in the BIOS otherwise it defaults to the main openCL accelerator which will always be your discrete graphics if present.

Ran it, and it was stable at the suggested settings from @Lays thanks for your guys help.

What you could also do to increase stability at high clocks is to increase your cache ratio to equal or greater then your prossesor (at least in my time over locking it seems to have helped out)
