Asus Z97-a, should I use TPU or do i overlook manually?

[GamerLackingKnowledge]

How does one overlook an 4690k on z97-a?
Also have 2400mhz ram I'll be using a xml profile for.

Thoughts?

Try 5-Way via Ai Suite. You can change target voltages, frequency, stress test duration, AVX load, memory test options etc in the advanced section. I'd see how far it gets on defaults and then make changes. If it does not sit well with your parts you can always clear CMOS and do things manually.

The software works fine and has plenty of options for newcomers to a platform that can use it and then progress to manual tuning. No need to avoid it.

I agree, don't use the software to OC CPU. OC it manually through BIOS.

Thanks for the help guys, given the issues I'm having with my Windows 8.1 industry pro windows updates not responding constantly, and seemingly chewing up my CPU (reaches 85% usage at some point just running update) I'll wait a little before Overclocking.

If anyone has a fix for that I'm all ears though. Also what is the safest clocking to put it on with a NH-D14 cooler?

What do you mean safest clocking? NH-D14 is a great heatsink, will definitely keep CPU cool.
