Hi, I overclocked my 4770K from 3.5 to 4.4MHz. Furthermore, I used "CPU Voltage Mode" Adaptive, and "CPU Offset Voltage" +75mV. And that's the question, I'm not sure if the +75mV are acceptable or not for the i7. As you can imagine, I will not damage anything. Here's a link for the UEFI. It's 4. - https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2329841 Edit: In addition I read that the Vcore safe maximum of Haswell should not exceed 1.300.

1.3 vCore is generally the max recommended, but most cooling solutions can't handle it anyway. +75mV should be +0.075v to whatever your board is using for the base voltage. Be aware some motherboards auto-overvolt so it's best to know what the final vcore number is.
Be sure you're stress testing your overclocks, Haswell needs voltage to get up to 4.4 and stay stable.
 Have water, will cool.

Thank you! Some also say 1.35 vCore but I also think the less the better. However I can't make screenshots of the UEFI from my Classified. If I go to 4.4MHz, the voltage of the bios (topside, left) shows 1.231V. The +75mV are additional? If so, that would make 1.306V. Or are they already in the 1.231V implemented?

I'd suggest you download Core temp The VID will be the total vCore your chip is getting. It will show the current frequency, any thermal throttling, and temps. Unless you're using water or a huge air cooler it's unlikely you can use anything over 1.3v without the CPU thermal throttling and downclocking itself. My 4790K chip is watercooled, and at 4.5Ghz even 1.30v gets it so hot so it throttles under AVX2 workloads. I keep mine around 1.26v.

4.5 is a different story!  I'm okay with 4.4... Thanks for your advice with the monitoring.

I had the same question, I'm glad I came across this.

dang, surprised you can get such an overclock, my 4790k can barely even go up .1GHZ before it will crash forever
What if I said that one's entire life had been decided by fate? That every single one of your actions, from the minute to the monumental, stemmed not from your own choices, but had already been decided upon? That life being a journey of limitless possibilities was but an illusion, and no matter how fiercely man struggled, he stood at the mercy of a long-established path? The wealthy shall know their riches. The needy shall starve on the streets. The wicked shall be wicked, the righteous just. The beautiful, the hideous, the strong, the frail, the fortunate, the miserable... and finally, the victors and the defeated. What if I said that all such things had been carved into stone eons ago, allowing for no divergence? If so, sinners have nothing to answer for, nor do saints have any true virtue to their name. What if I said that not a single action is carried out of one's own volition, but had been decided long ago? That we are merely adrift in the current of time? Tell me, would yo

Probably memory or uncore settings too tight. Best to leave the uncore at 4Ghz when testing how far a Haswell chip will OC.
