Help overclocking Intel core i7 4790K

[AMDFORTHEWIN]

So I need help over clocking my Intel core i7 4790K from 4ghz to 4.4ghz. I am familiar with BIOS and the volts and settings. I have tried many times with the #'s and what-not and cannot clock it to 4.4ghz. On CPU stress test I only get 4.1ghz or something like that!

Please help by telling me how to do this.

Thank you!

Just change multiplier and use manual vcore like 1.25 - 1.28

Okay I did a stress test and got 4.16ghZ. Is this any good? I was looking to clock it at 4.4ghZ.

What r ur bios settings

What r ur bios settings

This is in my BIOS under Ai Tweaker:


Ai OC Tuner=XMP
Profile #1
CPU Core Ratio= Sync all cores
1 to 4 Core Ratio Limit= 44

Min.CPU Cache Ratio=44
Max. CPU Cache Ratio=44

BLCK Frequency: DRAM Frequency Ratio= 100:100

DRAM Frequency: DDR3-1600MHZ

CPU Core Voltage= Manual
CPU Core Voltage Override=1.000

1.0 vcore ? U need it a bit higher to get 4.4 ghz. I'm surprised it even posts

What volt would u reccomend?

From anandtech :
1. In the BIOS, set the DRAM to XMP.
2. Set the CPU to 4.0 GHz (40x multiplier) with CPU Core Voltage to Manual and 1.000 volts.
3. Save and Exit, see if system boots to OS.
4. If entering OS fails, go back to BIOS and adjust voltage by +0.025 volts and return to step 3.
5. When in the OS, run the POV-Ray multithreaded benchmark and OCCT test for five minutes. If either tests fail, go back to BIOS and adjust voltage by +0.025 volts and return to step 3.
6. Monitor temperatures during OCCT test. If the temperature is at the top of the users limit, stop overclocking.
7. If temperatures are low, and both tests complete, then this CPU frequency/Core Voltage combination is stable and noted. To continue overclocking, go back to BIOS and adjust CPU multiplier by +1. Return to Step 3.
