OC 4690k

I tried overclocking my 4690k on a Asus Maximus VI Gene but I can't get past 4.4ghz even if I set my core voltage to 1.3+ without getting blue screened. Is there anything I can do or is this a silicon lottery thing.

get a better cooler

I don't think its cooling. Temps don't pass 70C in both RealTemp and HWMonitor

Silicon lottery

More voltage will be required to boot.

Better cooling = higher overclocks

Hence DICE/Liquid Nitrogen

Yep.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

as you increase voltage so does resistance to at that frequency the resistance is pretty high...

the idea is more you can cool it the lower the resistance and higher the overclock...

try using a phase cooler instead of regular watercooling... or if youre really crazy set up a testbench with liquid nitrogen for cooling to get crazy overclocks

So... how have you tried overclocking with the Gene? It's a good motherboard, very capable, I don't see how a 4690k shouldn't hit at least 4.5 well under 1.3v. What settings are you tweaking? What settings have you left alone? Have you tried lowering the uncore multiplier? Have you increased the VCCIN to help compensate for voltage drops? Have you experimented with the various levels of Load Line Calibration available?

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

When I overclock I use the XMP profile, disable C-states, enable PLL, set Load Line and current capability to max, set VCCIN to active, phase and duty control to extreme. Then I just increase the core clock and voltage accordingly.
