Overclocking a 4690k to 4.4GHz

So when I go to a CPU ratio of 44 to get 4.4GHz the chip wants at least 2.27volts which I was not comfortable with its way too much voltage for small overclock. I fiddled around with a setting called ring ratio and I set that to 4.2GHz the chip was stable for 30mins on 1.240v. Previously without adjusting the ring ratio it gave me a blue screen 1min in to stress test on AIDA 64...

Please help me with the overclock, my CPU seems to hog voltage.

maybe you got a bad overclocker, specially with intel there is alot of "silicone lottery" some chips can hit 5 ghz with a water cooler, some cant even pass stock speeds (one in a million at least)

Are you new to the forums???? read the Code of Conduct HERE WANT SOME AWESOME LTT THEMED WALLPAPERS??? check out XTanksSlayerX's wallpaper thread HERE

WTF 2.27V  :o

 

That's wayyyy above the the safe limit I'm surprised you didn't kill it with that, but yeah some chips will do better than others so it sounds like you do a dud unfortunately.

 

You can increase the Base Block or Ring clock but it can't be increased a lot and it can throw out other OC's such as GPU's since it increasing everything so it's usually not recommended.

are you manually changing the volts?

2.27v would instantly cause a fire and explode your PSU actually

try this....leave voltage on auto and set multi to 45...monitor the volts and temps

I've done 1.7V before (suicide run for 5.2Ghz on a 3770K...didn't work), but 2.27V would be new level of badassery.

1.27 is fine as long as your temps are ok

Sorry guys I meant 1.27volts. My bad!

 

That's better  :lol:, you can push it up the 1.3V and not see degradation of the chip, it's perfectly safe, just monitor your temps and voltages during the stability test.

 

 

1.27 isn't bad stock voltage on my 4790K is 1.22v

 

Stock is usually 1.25V on the 4790K.

Is it board or chip preset? Mine is stable at 4.6Ghz with 1.23V

1.3-1.4V is still fairly safe if your watercooling or have big air coolers, if can degrade a bit but not in a meaningful way by the time it degrades it's obsolete. If you really want to go crazy get some LN2 and shoot for the stars!

The highest temp I've seen is low 80's on air. With Real Bench and cpu fan controlled by Asus Suite.
