Hello, i recently bought some new parts to build my 1st DIY pc.
My speclist is:
CPU:Intel i5 4670k
Mobo: G1 sniper z87
Ram: 8Gig(2x4) corsair vengeance 1600kit (transfered from previous pc)
PSU:Corsair RM 750W
GFX: gtx 770 WF
Corsair 100i
So when i decided to start tuning and overclocking the pc following Tom's guide i start to see some issues.
To start when i was trying to find the stock volts for the cpu i noticed that the value at cpu-z wasnt going down even if i had all power-saving features on.
After that i start working with small steps upwards starting at 4Ghz with the mobo stock-auto volts.The point is that i couldnt manage to keep it stable at any clock with any amount of volts it would freeze or blue screen with the 0x3B code.
I asked a friend about this and he suggested me to up the ram voltage abit.
to clarify this my ram is rated at 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 at 1.5v
After i tried raising the Ram voltage to 1.65 i managed to run a quick dirty oc at 4.2 at 1.2 volts for a 45mins.
I also know that i may have lose the silicon lottery badly and have a very bad cpu but i thought that at least i should be able to run my memory at rated speed and voltage.
Any chance this is a Bios issue and an update to the latest one could fix it instead of bad luck at the lottery?
Also occt was acting a bit weird it was freezing during testing for few seconds and then it was ok.
I forgot to mention that i tried stress testing the pc at stock and got blue screen twice with the same 0x3B code when i pressed the off button at occt.
Thanks in advance for any help!
