I7 3770k 4.5Ghz Overclocking

I have some questions and problems i am having regarding the voltage. I have been stable running intel burn test at 1.165 at 4.5 before doing all the changes in the bios. After doing the tweaks i had to push the voltage to 1.175 to run Intel extreme tuning utlity it ran fine for 5 hours. Then i started to run prime for 24 hours, for that i had to push the voltage to 1.190 to run it for 24 hours. Now i am having issues with games like bf3 in some maps it does a heavy lag. I have checked temps fine with cpu on load 45 and gpu's are fine as well. I am pretty much trying to figure out what is my stable voltage so i can do a offset voltage.

Raise your RAM voltage a bit since it seems to be undervolting it, then try to see if your system is stable.

It won't hurt adding a bit more CPU voltage as you have plenty of headroom left.

it shows 1.5 voltage for the ram, so go up to 1.55000?

Yeah, that should be fine. I run mine at 1.55v on my Asus mobo and it puts it at around 1.52. The RAM can handle that no problem.

Thank you, all the other settings look ok? What about LLC. I will push the ram to 1.55000 in a bit and test.

Everything else looks fine. I'm pretty sure the problem is going to be a lack of RAM voltage or not enough CPU voltage.

*Btw, you don't have to turn off your C-States.

should i keep them all to auto for power states? Cpu voltage is enough otherwise my game would crash?

It's not necessary but I have all mine on Auto at 4.6ghz. I'm using 1.26v for it to be stable there too.

Your game could not crash with too low CPU voltage, it could create lag instead.

OK, I pushed the ram voltage to 1.5500 in the bios. I also changed power to auto on all. Cpu voltage how can i find out how much voltage is needed for bf3 or other games? Please help and what about the LLC?

Also, i know when playing bf3 when tabbing it takes a while for the scoreboard to come up i wonder if it has to do with voltage?
