maybe someone can point me to the correct thread if its not appropriate here, if not.. when I try and analyse my computer on XTU online to properly compete it says it doesn't know what an i7 4770k is?? any ideas? thanks everyone! )

yes, I think 1021 is low as well, my mem is 1600mhz with a latency of 10, im actually getting 1014 at 4.7ghz on only 2.5volts now im using a Gigabyte B85M-HD3 mobo so my clock is locked but most else is now unlocked with new BIOS.. on 4.7ghz its 100% stable, it will boot at 4.8ghz on 1.29v, but blue screens halfway through the XTU benchmark, my video card is a 4gb GeForce gt630 and is overclocked to its limits (core 900mhz, shaders 1800mhz mem 700mhz).. any suggestions? im new/old to this, back when I first did this it was limited to jumpers on the motherboard but having owned laptops only for the last 10yrs ive not realistically been able to do much at all

Update: I'm getting 4.7ghz stable now on 1.280volts 1021 marks, my temperatures are very low, ie NEVER going past 76c during the most intense load I can throw it's way, and speed confirmed by CPUID, I think I've really lucked out and gotten one of those golden 10%'s that overclock really well, I'm using a Seidon coolermaster 120m, is this a good setup? I'm only asking here because we all must have similar setups I'm guessing..
