Hi,
I have an evo 212 hyper, 4690k, and z97x gaming 5. I'm still waiting for graphics card but I don't want to overclock it (the gpu).
I'd like to make sure that my cooling is functioning properly first. I'm using CPUID HWMonitor and it says that cores 0-3 range between 28-41 c, when I'm browsing. Under package, it is 33-41. Is it safe to try and overclock?
I'm thinking of starting small, going from 3.5-4.2. On this site, http://www.anandtech.com/show/8227/devils-canyon-review-intel-core-i7-4790k-and-i5-4690k/2 , it says that the cpu voltage for 4.2 ghz is 1.1. So, do I just need to go into the bios, change the cpu voltage, set the memory profile to xmp and change the core clock value? Or do I need to change the multiplier as well? Actually, I know nothing, what do I need to do?
Thanks!
