    Question Is it possible to oc an i7 4790k on a H81M-R mobo?

    I saw a video of a guy oc-ing an i7 4790k on a H81 mobo. I tried it on my own and unfortunately couldn’t find the ”AI Overclock Tuner” option. Did they remove it with an update? Should I downgrade to the BIOS version mentioned in the video if that is even possible?

    I have been having an extremely annoying issue. I love to play PVZ GW2 and I get a max fps on 130. A guy who has a GTX 1060ti gets 200fps. I used to get a max of 160fps which I am still very confused about, these are on the lowest settings. Any help?

    Question CPU Frequency Question

    When I open Core Temp, I notice that the frequency of my CPU will randomly jump between 4400hz, 800hz, 2200hz and etc. The same happens with the power, it'll jump from like 12W to 62W. Is this something to worry about? My CPU is an Intel i7-4790k and has not been overclocked.
