I can figure out overclocking. I have a liquid cooled 4690K and im just lost. I tried clock it to 4.4 and it seemed unstable (crashing in CS:GO)
which motherboard are you using.
I have a MSI Z97-G55 SLI
Here's what you need to do.
read THIS guide here _http://www.overclock.net/t/1490835/the-gigabyte-z97x-overclocking-guide_
Remember, nearly ALL of those values have to be set manually to achieve a high overclock.
The guide is for a gigabyte bios, SO....
Not all of the settings will be under the same name in the MSI bios, but post about any you don't understand, And I will decipher it for you..
But overall, you can't just set the multiplier and expect it to work.
Even if it works a bit, you may be OVERvolting, for example, most AUTO - Overclocking done by the motherboard without user input tends to Overvolt by 0.2volts.
Which means if you try an auto overclock of 4.8ghz, you might be pumping 1.4-1.45v into the chip
That is very bad, and you will never be able to stability test it, because it'd run way too hot to pass testing,
