i5-4670k refusing to overclock

[✪Rich&Nuts]

I have been trying to overclock my cpu to 4.2 ghz at 1.175 volts but my values are not being applied. I used Prime95 to stress test and the average temp is 69 C, but my cpu speeds are always stuck at the factory values (3.4-3.8 ghz). Is there a reason why my cpu refuses to overclock?

Not necessarily. I have a non-Z board and have my cpu oced to 4.3 Ghz. (i5-4690k 3.5Ghz)

That's true for some early boards, but Intel's since covered that off. From Gen 6 onwards you need a K-Series CPU and a Z_70 chipset for overclocking.

OP: How are you applying your overclock? What settings did you adjust?

Normally you'd do it manually by turning off Turbo Boost, then setting the CPU Ratio to your intended clock speed. You'd then set the Voltage to a reasonable ballpark figure and boot. If everything is stable, restart and boot again at a lower voltage. Keep dropping the voltage until it bluescreens at high load, then nudge it back up a little.

Edit: I am at max performance Non-turbo and i disabled speedstep

'Try doing this manually. Switch off AI Overclocker completely, apps like that rarely do a good job. Go down to CPU Multiplier and enforce the ratio you want.

What is AI Overclocker? Is it in the bios or is it something that was downloaded on my PC that I don't know of

Edit: Someone was just talking about disabling AI Overclocker but I don't know what it is

Its in the BIOS, its to auto overclock.

And im not sure that setup can handle the overclock you want, just by doing CPU-Z your temp is at 53C

so what cooler are you using?

Open your own screenshot. See the green bar? With AI Overclock Tuner written on it? Click that, switch it off or reset it to factory.

Then scroll down and manually overclock the CPU. Set the Core Multiplier to whatever you want, then take manual control of the Voltage and set it to something reasonable and conservative. Adjust it down over multiple boots until the PC loses voltage stability(starts bluescreening at extreme CPU load) and then nudge it back up slightly.

Switch the whole BIOS back to factory default and start over.
Set CPU/OC to Manual; to OC adjust the Multiplier and VCore
Set DRAM = XMP Enabled
Disable SpeedStep and Turbo

These are all the very basics to OC any Intel CPU in the BIOS.
Never do any of these things with regards to OC'ing a CPU via OS Software.
