plz help me on cpu overclocking

[EzioWar]

Hi, my cpu i5-4670k,cpu cooler-Hyper 212X , gpu - Asrock rx 7800xt challenger oc, mobo- gigabyte z87x-ud3h, bios version F10b, psu corsair cs650m, corsair ram 4x4gb @1600 mhz dual channel, Crucia MX 500 500gb ssd,windows10,
with bios factory settings without any overclocking and without enabling any XMP for memory, my cpu's vcore reaches 1.236v at max load but without any overclocking and XMP 1 enabled for memory, my cpu's vcore reaches 1.294v at max load. is this concerning? is this my bios' issue? should i flash my bios( though i'm using final version of the bios)?

Its fine, keep it below 1.35v for your own cooling sake.

I wouldn't say it's concerning. It's higher than I would expect, but it's likely that Gigabyte was just giving it a bit more voltage to ensure stability.

 

And I wouldn't be concerned until you get closer to 1.35V, which is what I'd go with for a conservative daily driver OC. However, there are plenty of folks who ran Haswell at 1.4V for years - I would wager you could find someone on this very forum who is still running a Haswell chip at 1.4V somewhere.

 

All that to say, 1.294V should be fine. Since you have an unlocked chip and Z chipset board, you can go in and manually lower the voltage if you want. Or you can use the voltage headroom to OC it. With your 7800XT, I'd be trying to push that old i5 pretty hard, since it's going to bottleneck the 7800XT in the vast majority of games these days.

-= Topics merged =-

Op I have merged your questions about overlooking your cpu. There is no need to create a new topic for each question as they are related to the same subject. Just continue the thread.

This is not reddit, Twitter or Facebook. Conversation and discussion is easier to be had in the same place so everyone involved doesn't need to reference other topics to keep up and offer assistance. That gets messy.

Ok

Should i enable/disable any of these bios settings to increase stability during CPU overclocking? 

 

also which power plan is optimum for same reason?

Did you not find an overclocking guide for that chip?  They're all over the place and outline exactly what you do.  It should not be this hard.  My 4670K was easy to just tweak and go.

 

Why are you making another new topic?  If you keep it all together we can follow what's been done before.

did not find a guide which mentions C state setting during overclocking

So after trying some different overclocking settings ( used cpu vcore from 1.2 to 1.23 and targeted for 4.1 to 4.2 ghz) i had like 6 to 8 times BSOD and during a aida64 2024 extreme tress test my freezed after 30m and had to long press power button. For like last 9 years without any issue i had 4x4gb rams on 1600hz and xmp1 on and it was same during those overclocking tries. though i never tried overclocking before. But 10 days ago i installed new gpu rx 7800 xt ( i had gtx 1050 ti for past 9 years.). So first few days after that new gpu i did not tried any overclocking and every thing was fine. but after those failed overclocking tries and BSODs suddenly my PC wont POST anymore even without any overclocking and my mobo debug code led would show following codes in sequense and repeatedly untill i long press power button to turn off the pc- -------

15 ( it means- pre memory north bridge initialization is started) >>>> 3b (it means-PCH PEI initialization) >>>32(it means-CPU PEI initialization)

now sometimes pc would restart after 32 and repeats everything. but other times those codes would rotate without pc restarting. Also sometimes my pc would turn on and but after gaming some time if i turned off the pc for some time then my PC wont POST anymore again though if i would restart only instead shut down then my pc would turn on . After that i disabled XMP1 and lowered the ram freq to 1330mhz but still same issue happened.  even i flashed the bios but still nothing got solved.  But then i set memory enhancement setting to "enhanced stability" and xmp1 disabled and memory clock to auto ( auto puts the clock to 1330 by default) and only then my pc started normaly and had no issue ever again.

 

Do you guys think i have damaged my pc's hardware permanently in trying CPU overclocking thats why XMP1 not stable anymore? if so then which pc part you think is damaged ?
Now, should i start overclocking my CPU again with this stable RAM settings ? Or it's too risky and i can damage my system?
