Hey all.
So I'm a fairly new Haswell owner. Recently overclocked my 4770k by just increasing the multiplier in bios. I haven't touched anything else.
After doing some reading, it seems like a lot of people talk about increasing voltage to get much over 4.1ghz. Well I haven't touched mine and am at 4.2. Is that normal? I ran prime95 for 12 hours with zero errors and have been gaming/web surfing for over a week now. No issues.
Should I be concerned about damaging the chip if I didn't increase voltage to go with the mild overclock? So 4.2ghz on the same voltage as the stock speed, is ok?
Here's a picture
And 12 hours of Prime95 pushed the temp to about 65c
