i5 overclock issue/ error

[brandynmagers]

Ok, so i am getting this error when im logging into windows "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" and i researched it some and people where saying that it was a voltage issue so then i went out and bought a 750w power supply from EVGA. from a 430w PSU Then i tried to overclock again with the same settings and it still gave me the same error and i do not know what to do about it please help.

 

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 G 80 PLUS GOLD 

CPU: i5 4690k

MOBO: ASUS Z-97 A 

Cooling: CM 212 EVO

Not stable, increase the voltage on the CPU/ decrease the Clock speed.

It was at 1.2 voltz both times i used linus' setting on hos i5 i7 overclock guide 

[brandynmagers]

Try feeding the cpu some more voltage.

Over 1.3?

When overclocking, you need to go into it with an open mind.  Don't try and recreate someone else's results.  Focus on getting the best overclock for your specific chip.  I would not go above 1.3v.

 

Here are some guides, but the most important thing to know going into this is to keep an open mind.  Don't try and compare your results to others, just focus on getting the best result for your chip that you are comfortable with. Also, whenever you stress test, make absolutely sure that you set your voltage to manual before stress testing.  When you are done stress testing, revert back to adaptive voltage.  Failure to do so can cause overheating and overvolting which has the potential to damage your chip.  If you do everything as instructed, and keep a low voltage below 1.3v, you will be fine.

 

To start, do some research.  Understand what all of the terms mean, and wait to play with your settings until you understand everything.  I am here to help if you need it, I have the same motherboard, and the same processor(i5-4670k), but please become aware of what the different terms mean and where to find them.

Load Line Calibration, Why Overclockers Should Care

 

The LLC setting was the one setting that the Asus auto overclock does that is not good.  It sets it to the maximum value, which is not good, it causes vBoost(overvolting).  You want this set to 2-5 out of 8.

 

Try increasing voltage to 1.25 for now, see if that fixes things.

 

It is good that you bought a better PSU, because 430W is cutting it close for an i5 and R9 270X, but PSU was not the problem, it was the settings.

no two CPUs are the same. My 4670k needs 1.3V for just 4.2GHz. It happens.

Then is there anything that i have to manually switch on the motherboard. Because i looked into it and it had some switches on the mobo physically and i didnt know if that affected anything?

You shouldn't be touching anything on the physical mobo.

Where did you acquire this idea as the next course of action? This whole thread has said that it means your voltage isn't enough for your clocks.

DO NOT touch the TPU/EPU hard switches on the mobo, especially if you have no idea what their purpose is or how to use them. Leave them on default. As everyone else has said, kick your voltage up a notch and retest.
