Howdy guys. Here are the basics to my rig
i5-4670K (Hyper 212 evo push pull w Corsair High Performance)
MSI Z97 Krait SLI
GTX 970
8gb Crucial 1600
I just got a new case so I got a new board (MSI Z97 Krait SLI)to match the theme. on my old board (Asrock Z87 pro 4) the only overclock I could do and keep my temps under 65 was a 4.2 GHZ at 1.185. Now that Im on this new mobo, should I go through the steps again and step it up or just go straight to 4.2 at 1.185?
I guess my question is whether overclocking is cpu dependent (meaning the same individual chip will OC on every board the same) or if its more board dependent, or if its a "it takes two to tango" sort of thing.
Thanks in advance for your help.
