Yeah I am running 1.4 on VCORE. Anything less and my computer locks up and crashes and causes all sorts of errors at anything more than 4.2GHz
I set 1.4 in the bios, and I tried 1.35 1.36 etc and 1.39 works up until heavy load on my CPU and then it causes errors.
I have stress tested and I got at its worst 64 celsius but when I play games and other things I am around 55 celsius.
Good to know the PSU is probably fine which is great. But I am curious as to why I appear to be needing such a high VCore.
I am not sure how I am supposed to OC my CPU if I can't really do so at less than 1.4v without errors :/
I mean when I started OCing I looked at tons of guides and started slow and checked temps every time. And I am having zero temp issues.
Running OCCT I maxed out at 75 celsius and bumped it down to 1.395. 1.39 leads to instabality and blue screens :/ as well as things like chrome just crashing for some reason.
Boy...and I thought my 4.5GHz @ 1.355V was bad. Have you tried IntelBurnTest or Prime95? They skyrocketed my temps to 90 when I was OC'ing at 1.355V.

Those temps are wrong, you have some issue with OC, that's why i said check benchmark scores

I reinstalled the bios and reset my OCs. I can run 4.2 at 1.25v maybe something is goofy with my mobo and once i go up to 4.4 I need to run much higher voltages?
1.25 is stock voltage on my CPU on this mobo. That seems better no? Any idea why I can't hit 4.4 with 1.25 or 1.3? Just curious.
Everything is set to auto except my core clock and my Turbo boost which I set to 42.

^Well, what mobo and llc setting is it?

llc is 1.81something
and its a Gigabyte Z77-HD3

z77-hd4 is listed as 4+1 phase on sin vrm list, z77-hd3 isn't listed. It's probably not capable of more than like ~1.2-1.3v

get 2x4gb RAM, psu is fine if you use the rebate (better quality units available, but a good enough unit capable of supplying twice as much power as you are using is fair 'nuff at $40)

Sorry it was the HD4, I mistyped it

So: You won't actually get bios voltage unless you use high-extreme llc, and it may not supply more than like 1.3v very well

how come it lets me change the vcore voltage then in the settings? I think I need a better breakdown of the bios :/ and no I can't change the LLC away from auto to extreme. That must be the bottleneck.

Bios vcore on z77 is just a target voltage, especially without ~turbo llc and suitable amount of power phases etc; you can't really run ~1.4-1.45v on lower tier boards, that's what the z77x-ud3h etc is for

Are there any difference between "Samsung 840 Evo" and Samsung 840 Evo Basic"?
I want to buy a 250GB version. I guess I can buy one, mainboard is a ASRock 870 Extreme3.

Guys, I need your help. Atm Im torn between GTX 660 and AMD Radeon 7870. -.-
I know, its the matter of personal preference, but sill - what would you suggest?
Lots and lots of benchmarks have been read already. And Im still not even 1 cm further. 
I tend to value HD7870 over GTX 660.
#1 Pretty much same benchmarks;
#2 Most important - less power consumption (My PSU is not very strong --> Super Flower Golden Green PRO SF-450P14XE)
Second queston is: AMD had huge problems with shitty drivers. Have they learned from their mistakes and CCC 13.4 now OK?

No such thing as a Samsung 840 EVO Basic.

A Superflower Golden Green 450 is a really strong unit. More than enough for 7870 or GTX 660 unless you're running two CPUs or another similar GPU already for some reason...

Indeed it is (i was going to buy one for 4770k+770)
for GPU, i would take 660 just because shadowplay, it's somewhat amazing to be able to keep it open invisibly and be able to manually record somewhat near-lossless 1080p60 with very little performance hit (slight hit if GPU bound, like single digit % on one GPU but no weird performance stuff or messed up frametimes etc) and no real HDD footprint (like 10GB an hour)
In the end; i just record pretty much everything, tab out and rename a file if it has something that i want, and end of the day if you play for 3 hours and discard 80% of the footage, it's like 20GB on the hdd, pretty negligable, so you can just play for a month and do that every day then come back and edit it

Thank you, guys. Never thought I have a good taste in PSUs. :D
One last question. Now its 100% personal preference.
Asus or Gigabyte? --> Links to mindfactory.de

Gigabyte? Seems like a huge price gap to me..?

27,81€ is not a big deal. What my concern is, that there are plenty of RMAs of the Gigabyte card.
Thank you, skyR, for your great help. *handshake*.
