- Hey everyone welcome back, today we have the Haswell overclocking tutorial. First thing is first make sure you update your BIOS to the latest (1.3+ for MSI) to fix instability issues. Second thing to do would be to run your computer in for a few days with your favorite games / programs to make sure there are no driver issues / faulty hardware. After this we can continue.
Getting into the overclocks you can use whatever stress testing program and temp monitor you want. I personallly find myself coming back to prime95 time and time again and has become my favourite.

Also differences this time around are that the Z87 haswell platform is different to the Z77 ivy bridge platform (so don't use z77 overclocking tutorials for haswell as there are different features). The main differences are however are the new adaptive voltage / ring bus clocks and VR efficiency as well as a new learning curve. There are some other features explain in the video (mainly things like the SA / IO / Clock straps and base clocks).

Thanks for watching as always! When are you pulling the trigger on this budget build?
Yeah that would be the optimal voltage for your CPU (or maybe a tad below it), you can always try fixed voltage at 1.10v and see if your motherboard is lying to you, it is just that I found MSI was pretty spot on with their adaptive voltage.
finally overclocking my 4770k and this was great. Just ordered my 1080 and needed to get this a bit more beefy.
Yeah I am still testing thermal pastes, part of a new video that I will release ;P.
Thanks man, great video! I have no clue with overclocking but this video was really informative and will be referring back to this if I ever feel the need to overclock. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching :)
Amazing video dude. You explained everything so well.
Thanks for the tutorial, easily the best one I've found so far.
Hard call if you are solely gaming prob go for the Haswell, If rendering and using threaded heavy apps then go for the i7, also if you can get the 3770k for a bargain price then go with that.
Intel Stock HSF at the moment... Going to get an enermax t40 soon (but in this video I was using a water cooler).
I will look into getting an offset tutorial out as well, people seem to have problems with adaptive going too high, but I think on most z87 lines it won't go above 1.25v which is perfectly safe anyhows.
you can try upping the I/O voltage and the system agent voltage, I heard this can help with obtaining higher ram overclocks.
Just subscribed to your channel after seeing this and other straightforward vids. Like this and the spread/pea method. My 4770K is running too hot, new components- but recycling the heatsink- though I'm questioning that now. Going to reset the heatsink and trying to get things stable before OCs. Good job mate.
3.6ghz will be intel turbo boost on all cores. The 1.111volts is high for a stock clock.
Linus said in his overclock tutorial that you should use adaptive mode when you tested your overclock and all is 100% stable. For testing use manual mode
Fantastic tutorial man, really enjoyed watching and found it very informative. Subbed!
Some ram may not have it, if that is the case just set the timings and voltages in manually.
I have the same mainboard as you and the i5-4430 3.0ghz cpu. I just installed an xspc watercooling kit today and I'm idling at 27 c. Cant wait to use your tutorial tomorrow when I get off work!
oh best tip at the moment would be to just try not to take your voltage over 1.25v for your sweetspot on your chip (mine is at about 1.25v at 4.6ghz stable).
Thanks for this info, the ring bus modifications made my system unstable so I just left it on auto...
Great Tutorial :D Can't wait to OC my i5 now that it is actually stable!
Just did some research, as I was having the same problem. Just use the +/- keys while hovering over the option and you should be good to go! Happy overclocking!
Yeah possibly, realtemp doesn't tell the whole story all the time I find. There could be a bit of paste missing in a crucial area making your CPU overheat internally before it even reaches the cooler. Would be interesting if you decided to delid and see if you could reach higher clocks after you did it.
1.100-1.150 core voltage works for me, but CPUz has the core voltage idling at 1.181 and under stress it goes up to 1.226, I know this is because of adaptive voltage but should I change my core voltage to 1.181 or even 1.226
When I try to do this using your settings cpuz still says my core is 0.872 V and wont go up to what I set it at or even close. Any idea why?
Hey Bryan awesome vid as always!!
Thanks to you I'm running my i5 4670k @4.2Ghz very stable (1.075v vcore and 1.050v uncore). Both CPUID and Realtemp report idle temp around 32C and peak temp under 100% load when using Prime95 is 60C which is fantastic. The best part is according to Realtemp my cpu clock is dynamically adjusted which mean it runs @3.4Ghz stock clock when idle and just boost up to 4.2Ghz when under heavy load and this really pleased me!! You made my day Bryan thanks a lot!!!!
when i load my xmp profile is says that the oc is unstable. Is there anything i can do about this?
Try offsetting it with -0.05 and tell me if your new max voltage is 1.15v.
Yeah heard good things about the seidon, I guess coolermaster are really getting it right in the cooling department hehe.
got my 4670k stable 4.2Ghz at 1.19V and max temperature with prime95 71°C with HR-02 Macho. thanks!
This video is old but thanks you help me A lot to Squeeze a little more Performance on my old Haswell i5 4670k to 4.2ghz
I am deep in testing at the moment, but yeah Haswell is decent, I love the z87 motherboards more than anything else.
Yeah maybe in the future, at the moment I am using an SSD as my main drive in SDHC, let me know your purposes (i.e. do you have an SSD? or just going straight raid 0?), at the moment I just have a dynamic raid 0 set up through windows via the SDHC. If you however are using raid 0 as your main boot drive then you may wish to set up raid from the bios.
I would say something is not attached right (cooler isnt bolted down properly?), those temps are high... what are the ambient temps?
I have a beginners guide to overclocking on Ivy, I explain a lot in that video. However it is a different socket and they introduced adaptive voltage on the z87 line.
In regards to prime95, I usually try to keep it under 80-85, as for me it is a max real world temp that I can expect.
A very good tutorial! You make it look so easy...and with low voltage....
I used the the same core voltage on the vid 1.050 and 1.025 for the rig voltage. I booted on to windows CPU-Z showed my core voltage as 0.710 however upon running prime95 it boosted up to 1.132 (Temps 70). I know this is a noob question but do I need to change anything or are these settings fine I am little bit concerned with the 1.132. Thanks
I booted up with 1.050 voltage core and 1.025 ring voltage. Running prime95, my core voltage is 1.248. Should I go into bios and change voltage core to 1.250, and what should I change ring voltage to?
I would say that is true, Sandy was a great overclocker.
If you use Adaptive/Dynamic mode:
'Even though you set 1.25 V as your maximum voltage, under certain very heavy loading conditions (i.e. stress testing), the voltage can and will exceed the maximum you have set. '
Great video! Coul'd you share the deliding experience?
I do my monthly cleaning and forgot about a motherboard stand off and well, lol I fried the rig.
Dude thanks for this video. My cpu booted at 1.050v, which was pretty cool, and it's stable in Intel Burn test and prime 95 !
Great video! Thanks for the guide! After checking out some other posts online I think I have a really bad chip, the instant I try to push to 4.1 it starts locking up after getting to my desktop.
Hi, I OC my 4690K - MSI z87 g43 to 4.2GHz for now. I followed some tips from this great tutorial and I had no problems. System is stable. CPU reaches at max load 50 degrees, using kraken cooling solution. So I will probably OC it later to 4.5GHz or even to 4.6GHz. I increased my core voltage to 1.100 to get system stable.

I went to 4.4Ghz now, with system stable, for higher OC I didnt decide because my Motherboard would be too loaded!
At 100% load CPU gets only too 60-65 degrees, but I have good cooling.
can you help me? im doing everything as shown and when i boot up CPU is still 3.6 then i go to bios again and all settings did not change. i mean they are still 4.2
Thanks man... my first overclocking here..
I was having the same issue ( it was greyed out) but I was able to just type over it, and it worked
Try contacting MSI and / or udating the BIOS
I have heard a lot of people having this problem, I haven't had it so wouldn't know what is going on exactly, have you tried contacting MSI? I could only suggest turning off OC genie if it is on (as that does lock all the other settings in OC profile).
I don't think it does, it is the cores that are producing all the heat. I think your temps are fine then if you are hitting 70 degrees at 4.2ghz at 27 celcius. What cooler are you using?
Out on business at the moment, when I get back I will be makin gthe aussie builds first then the UK builds, so maybe 4-5 days?
Thanks! I always feared overclocking because it seemed so hard but this is really simple! Oc'd my i5-4670k from stock 3.4ghz to 4.2ghz, core volt 1.120 and ring 1.100, did a prime 95 test and temps are hitting 80. How can I reduce the temperatures? My cpu fan is a 212 evo master pro
thanks for the input the strange thing is i have my settings set exactly as you have explained and with aida64 running my core voltage jumps to 1.250 volts and memory voltage jumps to 1.760 volts, if i set it manually how can the voltage offset itself so high? is there something i am overlooking? i max out at 65c with your settings
yes that is good, I've +20c with intel cooler. ambient temps is like 32C. thank for helping
I got to 4.2ghz using the settings in this video! I have an evo 212 as well. No worries with heat whatsoever
thanks to your video + 1 other I did OC mine:
4.4 ghz with 1.15v and 4.1 ring ratio.
G45 + i4770k + h100x
Idle 28-33
Under stress max 60
Could probably push for more , maybe like 4.5 or 4.6 in some future but not needed now ! :)
Great video !
@@iceangelx22 Apparently it should be 0.3 lower than your cores - so I just followed that haha :D
I was running 4.5 at 1.215 Fixed Mode
Now running 4.6 with 1.255 but I can see in CPUZ that it likes to go for 1.272 - ive ran cpuz stress and it was okay but when i run prime95 it crashes the system :D but im gaming everyday and use it and its all look..it confuses me but ive heard that running prime is also not that recommended after all ;/
@@iceangelx22 70 is good. that's my personal line as well 70/75max during load on gaming anything more shouldnt really be happening especially if you're like some people running PC most of the day of the day not like 1-2h game once in the while.
I did AIDA64 some time ago which is lighter than prime..apparently prime is really have so i decided that my game won;t cause such a heavy load on my PC so 4.6 is fine , it goes through cpuz test, nothing happens when gaming and temperatures are alright at least that's for me. Prime makes my CPU 100 degrees and it shuts down as well haha
Thanks! I tried to follow along but my bios is different. I have 4670k CPU and msi h87-g43. My hours doesn't let me adjust any volts, ring or any of the variables that you entered A numerical figure. I am able to switch to adaptive, but can't adjust ratio. Any suggestions??
What are your temps like and what are the ambient temps?
CPU z is showing that cause it is going into a c1 state. Just open p95 and boot it up and it should be back up to 3.4ghz.
When i run CPU-Z the voltage FLuctuates alot, am i soposed to run the stress test and see how much the max Voltaje it reaches? and then Reajust it acordingdly?
I am new at OC and was wondering how high I should go with the i5 4670k. I am thinking of 4.2-4.4ghz with the voltage at 1.100 to 1.200.
Great Tutorial! Subbed.
So go with the haswell combo.
For some reason any voltage I input at 4.2ghz or higher won't boot into windows. At 4.2ghz on auto voltage and adaptive mode it works. I followed this guide exactly how it's explained. Am I missing a setting that's preventing me from overclocking past 4.2ghz?
Hello, old vid but i have a question. I done all you said and everything is stable but my PC only uses half my ram when is overclocked ? What to do to fix this problem ? thank you
When using fixed mode (for cpu ratio mode) voltage is brought up to 1.2V, but when using dynamic, the cpu wont clock up from 800 mhz at 0.7V while under stress. Any ideas??
I have tried to use the same voltage an cpu clock as in you other videos, but it just crasches before it get into loading windows, and cant select things like fixed mode, adaptive mode and those things.
In the BIOS where you adjust the CPU ratio and it says "auto" without the [...] .
Highlight that option and just use the the numpad on the keyboard and you should be able to change the numbers like that, then press enter.
No way, I used to play the shit out of Heroes of Newerth until a couple years ago. Good taste in video games my guy
yes he did mention it i actualy perfer that it is set this way because im a pc gamer and video game maker/video editor so when im doing just some quick browsing its fine at 800 mhz but i do something intensive like a game and it clocks it self to 4.2 ghz but since its not a full load like prime 95 it does not in turn create the heat that it does
Try typing the desired multiplier with the number keys. Had the same issue and it worked for me:)
i have a 4770k with this mother board and i am able to get 4.4 ghz but at 1.25v is that an ok voltage? what is the voltage i should never go over?
Thank you for great tutorial! But I am curious why do you have in idle/desktop 4.2GHz on your CPU? I thought "Adaptative Mode" for the "CPU Core Voltage Mode" and "Dynamic mode" for "CPU Ratio Mode" allow the CPU to get low value in idle mode like, for example, 800MHz, not all time time 4,2GHz which generates more heat and higher temperatures. Could you explain this? :)
4.4-4.6, depends on your chip.
Yeah you have to use 1.64.1 or higher, I think you are using 1.64.0? which displays the voltages incorrectly.
Eagerly awaiting an Australian ~1k build. I check your page every day, is it coming any time soon?
u could go for 4.5 at 1.22 volts. Should run stable, if not, increase the voltage by 0.01
4.5Ghz stable at 1.3v, haven't done much tweaking to see what the min voltage i could get but my guess is about 1.285
Hello, I've got a question. I have the same Motherboard & i5-4670k Haswell chip you use in your video. Also i followed every single step. & saved my profile. But after booting my system up nothing is changed, still running 3.4Ghz with 1300mhz ram. I really don't understand why.
wich cooler you use?
i tryed to OC but in CPU-Z the voltage is never stable. When i don't run AIDA the Vcore jump from 0.130V to 1.2V... Is it normal? Your Vcore seems stable and when i runs Aida it goes from 1.2V to 1.224V is it ok?
Why is my voltage jumping straight to 1.200 when I start prime95 on the same bios settings as yours? I have a gd65 gaming. You get 1.100 but mine jumps straight to 1.200 :S please, need an answer!!
Thanks for the very helpful guide all I'm wondering is do you need to put a extreme memory profile in, in order to affect the over clock itself i.e. make it more stable or can you just skip that step and begin altering the voltage??
They sure do! (btw its with a Push pull configuration, but its blowing outside of the case so its not even ''fresh cool'' air going trough the radiator. so problebly if you do a push config from outside to inside the case you'll get the same results. And an other question: do you think it's worth upgrading my Asus GTX560 direct cu II graphics card? and if so, what card should i get? or maybe an other gtx 560 and go SLI?
Great video I just have one question. When setting my ring voltage in the BIOS it shows up in red text..what does that mean? I am running BIOS version 1.5. Thanks!
profile 1 of xmp is your configuration? or is included in the motherboard that profile ? is the best ? i have 2x8 ripjaws X 1600 mhz.
to 4.2GHz is sufficient with the Stock VCore, with the standard cooler is very fine! If you like OC to 5GHz, the Corsair h60 is excelent
hello I have an i7 4770k and motherboard msi g45 gaming and want to overclock for 4.2 ghz but my English is very poor and I do not understand what they want to ask to explain if possible send the data written everything must change to stay stable at 4.2 ghz thanks
Nice tutorial. One thing that I have a question on is that my BIOS does not have a setting for the ring voltage. I booted my computer up and it seems to be running fine though. Is there any negative impact of not tweaking the ring voltage settings?
I also have that motherboard, I see ur doing this in bios, what about doing it with the MSI intel Extreme tuning utility? (Isnt that easier?) Im currently running stock cooler so I havent touched OC. Running games like witcher 3 gta 5 and Divison beta my cpu temps are close to 80 degrees.
I've heard bad things about using adaptive mode for either voltages. Can I have it on manual and fine tune the voltage myself instead?
i got 4.4 at 29 degrees idle with the H60 (i am using the SP120). I am also using a define R4 with 6 fans (7 including the fan on the rad)
Do you change your radiator for a bigger once? or using the original delivered with CPU?
Hey nice tutorial, you seem to know your stuff about mobos! :) An off-topic question if you don't mind, would you recommend the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming or the Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H for OCing and best FPS in games? Thanks!
Hell i have a intel core i7 4770k and a corsair h80i with noctua nf-f12 fans and i live in Spain. What would you do? 4.4 or 4.2 or something else?
OK, I might just do that, I'm curious what type of cooling do you have and what are the temperatures in your rig... If you have some air cooler to recommend to that will be good (or cheaper water cooling-close loop). For the record I have Chieftec Bravo BX-01B-B-B PC case, that's for the size of cooler...
i have cpu intel i5 core TM (4 cores ) 2450m but overclock is 2.5 GHZ can i change it to 3.0 GHZ ?
would you recommend i5 4670k and z87 g45?
I got something weird, whatever i put my voltage on cpu z always says my voltage is 1.116 how come my voltage isnt getting higher?
Late to the game but I when I turn this to Turbo Mode, it says it's at 4000-4200 CPU Clock already. Does OCing still help?
