New to overclocking. I seem to be stable at 4.7 Ghz but im at 1.411 V. which seems pretty high to me. if i go below 1.4 i crash at startup. and anything below 1.410 and i crash when its under load. Temps are idle at abount 35-40 and underload they range from 60 all the way up to 75-80 sometimes. Seems kinda high as well but i assume its the fault of the high voltage. Is it too high? am i just doing this wrong? i see other people getting 4.8 Ghz with around 1.3. and i cant even get 4.5 with that much from my tests.

Then you kind of lost the silicon lottery. Reduce the clock speed and voltage.

No more than 1.35V for 24/7 operation for Haswell.

Unfortunately it sounds like you got a dud overclocker, I wouldn't keep it at 1.4V on a daily personally even if you have very good cooling.

1.38v on mine at 4.8. Haven't delided it but temps aren't too bad. Sit in the mid to low 50's on a game like bf1 which destroys my cpu. Always see certain overclockers say a board can play a difference. Obviously when they are sponsored they are going to push that onto you but I have a somewhat fancy board. Not sure if it helps overall but it does give you a lot more options overall.
