Hey everyone,
Since there is only one thread on OC'ing a i7 4770K on this forum and I was doing some overclocking and wanted to post the results.

Stock
Idle ( 8 X 100 Mhz @ .586 volts )
38 multiplier X 100 Mhz @ .998 Volts ( Fully stable ) [ max temp with avx stress test : 52-54 Degree ]

OC'd
41, 42 X 100 Mhz @ 1.131 volts ( fully stable ) I think I can take it down a little later. [ max temp with avx stress test : 60 Degree ]
43 x100 Mhz @ 1.131 volts (full testing not done)

45X100 Mhz @ 1.225 volts ( fully stable ) I think I can take it down a little later. [ max temp with avx stress test : around 70 Degree ]

@ 1.225 volts 4.6 boots but BSOD's within 2 minutes of Stress testing.

I will be posting th CPUZ screen shots soon.
I will be trying 4.7 but not sure if my chip can hit it .


Suggestions welcome ..

is your chip a costa rica made one? or from malasia/singapore?? i heard costa rica made chips are more stable than others.

then even 4.6ghz will be a tough target.

Well on us can use the serial number on the Box or it is usually written on the chip itself...
