overclocking my 4930k

[Zet]

so atm i'm running stable 4.0 ghz 1.335V max temp is 70c

i tried to disable HT but that didnt help very much + i use lots of programs that utilize HT

 

how high voltage can i push and still "be safe" as in for the long run?

 

and was i just unlucky with my chip?

I wouldn't go any higher than 1.35 volts on the CPU as with the temps I would try staying below 75-80 degrees.

I think you may have lost the lottery, friend.

 

If you can push to 1.35 and keep temps low, then go for it.

Ivy-E can go to 1.4v or around 85c with small jumps to 90c (that happens).

 

Whichever comes first.

 

1.33v seems awfully high for 4GHz- is this the lowest voltage it's stable?

[Zet]

guess i'm gonna make a few attempts more later on and see if i can get it to 4.1 with ht enable

yeah lower is just bsod before i can boot up windows

and 1.330 was i could boot up windows but under load it bsod

[Zet]

tried 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 

with voltage up to 1.35 and it all resulted with bsod before i could boot up windows

 

so i guess i'm stuck with 4.0 at 1.335 =/

Aww man, you lost the silicone lottery. I know the feeling

Well, it's still a haswell CPU so there are a few things that you could try: lowering your ram frequency to 1600MHz if it is higher and manually setting the cache to stock settings. That can actually work wonders, give it a try if you have the time.

I'll be doing this in a couple days.

1.4 volts max. It is an intel enthuists chip after all, not a mainstream chip like a 4690K or the other ones.
keep temps as cool as possible max I would feel safe with would be 85c

as to why it is a poor overclocker, have you done any overclocking with your RAM. if so. put it back to default and see if that helps.

If you want some the best guide on the net on overclocking these chips check this LINK out
or
Look into the Intel Tuning Plan. basically send back your chip to intel and they send you another. http://click.intel.com/tuningplan/
not sure if it is availbe in your area, but check it out all the same.
but you could have just a bum chip. It happens.

[Zet]

have not done anything with the ram since i know the ram speed will basically not give me any performance boost

 

think i'll just accept the fact i got a bad chip

Ill reoprt back with mone once I get to OCing on my H320.
