4670k Voltage

[SawyerWink12]

I have a Gigabyte z87-d3hp and a 4670k i have overclocked my 4670k to 4.2GHz and i started at 1.2v kept lowering it to 1.198 v,1.196 v ,1.194 v ,1.192 v , 1.190 v , 1.188 v , then i went down to 1.186 v and i got a blue screen so i rebooted it to the bios and changed it to 1.187 v and it runs stable at that does it seem to high for 4.2 GHz 100% load it runs at 62/c and idles at 34/c does everything seem ok?  and when i would lower the voltage i would run intel burn test and it said stable and when i got to 1.187 v i ran prime 95 for 8.5 hours and no problems and it topped out @ 80/c

i did run intel burntest between each change of voltage

What is your cooler?

Well other than your temps (which are fine although a tad bit high) everything is good. You seem to have a good 4670k considering you were able to do 4.2 @ 1.87 volts. My 4670k can't even get stable at 4.2 @ 1.35 volts (the only limitation being voltage). If you were  able to drop the temps you could even go for a higher oc.

it has been really hot outside like 80 to 90/F thats probably why

what are your temps

I have a AIO cooler (thermaltake water 3.0) and with 1.26 volts which is what I am sitting at now with my 4.1 ghz OC I barely break 69-70 celcius using AIDA 64.

thank you for answering i really appreciate it

No problem

Your temperatures are good, especially for how hot it is.

 

Try something other than a synthetic though.  At least for my overclock, I found stability in Prime95 with something lower than I needed stability for in BF4.  Its not a one-size-fits all kind of thing.
