4770K Overclocking issues (Keep getting BSODS)

Exactly. Referring to the cooler since you can up the voltage a bit if it's running at lower temps

What? That's ridiculous. You're not voiding your warranty when overclocking! Intel's warranty, that is. Not sure how your shop handles it, but that would then mean you'd have to send it over to Intel to take a look at..
Also, since it runs fine on stock it's very difficult to get an RMA indeed. I really don't know what to do at this point..
I hate lottery, I always loose. I am asking Intel support in chat right now. But they havent respond yet. And if RMA, that may take weeks I guess. And weeks without my computer isnt an option 
Ill guess I have to be saticfied with 4.2Ghz...I should have kept my sandy bridge on 4.7 instead : /

I understand, can't imagine a day without my pc
Which Sandy-bridge did you have before?

I can imagine. I think 2500k at 4.7ghz would give you better performance too, depending on what you are using it for. The haswell is a power-saver though.. I feel bad for you!
I hope TTL sees this thread and can give you advice.

I think 'high' would equal the max. Since it's calibration it won't damage anything so it's worth a try putting it on 10.
Ok, will try it at 8, it was 1-8 (not 10 as max).
The x264 is running without problems, so I will check tomorrow when playing Gw2 again. Just frustrating that I cannot even reach 4400Mhz.
Now its hockey and after that Liverpool game, so perfect for stress testing!
Yes, seems so! Damn Silicon Gods! - Wouldnt argue if some silicon goddess screwed me instead. lol.
I have the arctic silver 5, and hmm, how much, cant say. But temps are looking good? Do you think that it can have anything with thermal paste anyway?

Its a slight chance :l.
The silicon lottery (or gods) is always a gamble, some win and some loose. Sadly your cpu is behaving fine at stock so I don't think intel would accept a RMA.
No they didnt, I talked to Intel support (chat). So no way to get a RMA there.
But if someone can find anything useful Ill gladly take tips.
Btw: Tryed now just to be sure; 1.33v @ 4.4 caused Bsod after 5min in x264.
What do you guys think of voltage? Can I crank it up more then 1.3 on air if having temps under 80 while stress testing?
And there is a huge difference in stress testing programs, OCCT gave me higher values, same with prime.

There's your problem, cannot really OC that much on air, you could try an AIO cooler like the H100i or go DIY water cooling. ^_^

No, you can easily get similar clocks on air if you know what you are doing. I've done a build with a 9590 (yes the overpriced AMD chip) using a Phanteks PH-TC14PE and it was absolutely fine. The temperatures aren't far off from a h100i. The TC14 is about the same performance as the Noctua in this graph.

Personally, I'd still try a H100i, give it a go. ^_^

Not worth the money. He's got a bad chip it seems.
