4670k damaged ?

[m2rt]

My 4670k seems to be acting really odd. Im using a Asus z87-A board. Even when you try to OC using Asus built in switch on a board it gives blue screen. IT also need almost 1.260v !!! to be stable at 3.8ghz wich is even slower than 4670k turbo  mhz. IT cant be normal for a K sque chips. Im really lost here ,dont know how to test it either its board or cpu problem. (Before you start on silicon lottery- im very well aware of it) but this is just redicilous.

Sorry, but I think you lost the lottery my friend

You sure it's not some other problem? Most of the time my CPU instabilities crash the system outright, not BSoDs.

The Z87-A, isn't exactly the most high performance board out there.But you should be seeing better results than this..... I think you have indeed lost the silicon lottery. If you feel confortable try and do a bit of manual OC'ing could be some random bug in the software... you never know.

Agreed. Yes could be another problem. Bsod could indicate software issues.

I mean it wont even get to Windows loading screen when using Ausus onboard switch. I belive in UEFI its called Optimal ? Well that dont work either.

I will say this.  I've seen stability issues actually occurring on the operating system level.  My 920 was stable at 3.9GHz for 2 years but it started to error out in windows 8.  I slowly increased voltage and lower speed over a month and it kept acting up.  I looked up the error and reloaded windows 8, and I have been back to 3.9Ghz at an even lower voltage than before.

It should reach 3.8ghz without any difficulties. Contact Intel to find out what is going on.

The board makes almost zero difference in z87 platforms. I allready tried manual volts up to 1.35v still wont boot at 4ghz. Even when you set vrin/ cpu input voltage to  1.8-1.9v . I also set uncore to 34x so thats not an issue. Ram was set default speeds. I really think either its faulty board or a chip. They cant sell this thing as a K series if it wont even to turbo clocks.

Have you run the system at stock? What sort of volts does the CPU use at factory settings?

Sadly, you lost the silicon lottery.
