Overclock i5-4690k bcod

[aquilaray]

So I'm working on my best possible overclock for my i5-4690k. First getting to know the lowest possible voltage on my current Mhz.

I lowered it a bit and after an hour of gaming and youtube and such I got a blue screen with error message: whea uncorrectable error.

Could this do any harm to my pc or is it just undervolting (which is harmless right)?

It seem your overclock is not stable. A good way to know if the overclock is stable is at least 6hrs or more of stress testing it. The safest thing to do is to run it for at least a day to know that it is really stable i think.

Make sure you are using a manual mode for stress testing. I'd start at 1.25 volts at 4.2Ghz and slowy crank up the Ghz until it crashes. When that happens slowly crank up the Voltage until its stable.

This ^ 

 

but to to answer the question undervolting "shouldn't" do any dmg but some people don't reccomend it.

im running 1.34V(1.335V) at 4.7GHz currently, to check if an OC is stabile run a 10min stresstest, then lower voltage or raise frequensy and do that untill it crashes, if it crashes raise voltage or lower the frequency and when you are at a point where you are happy with the speed, themals and voltage(dont go over 1.4V and try not to exede 1.35V) and run atleast 12h of strestesting but prefeably 24h of it to make sure its good, if it crashes raise voltage or lower frequency, even if its after 10h, because its not stabile and if its not then it can crash any time which could really screw you up

I was stable for 10 hours of stress testing Aida64 and 10 hours of Prime95 @ 4.3Ghz 1.125v. I know it is low but if I'm stable it doesn't matter right?

What you mean with really screw you up, like doing damage to the pc?

nah i mean like loosing what you are working on if you are doing anything like wrighting, video edeting ect.. that isnt autosaved, no hardware damgage tho but BSODs get verry anoying very quickly
