i7 4790K overclocking issue

[IstariLight]

Hi guys. Well My mobo is asus maximus ranger .. I bought these components like a week ago.. They are really fresh. My cpu is currently operating at 4.00 ghz .. I want to overclock it to 4.2 ghz without tweaking the voltage. So is it possible to do it without voltage settings? Can someone help me on that? Actually i dont know the bios settings& menus and tweaks . Just a few of them if anyone knows about the bios oc settings of this mobo , i'd be grateful to be guided.. Thank you

The only way to know is to try. If you don't know how the bios settings work, read the manual. If that doesn't clarify something, throw the setting into Google.

Just knowing some settings here and there is not the best idea when OCing. Here are some Devil's Canyon (the family your CPU belongs to) OC guides you should absolutely look at:

Also, I see you posted the same thread twice: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2502517/4790k-overclocking.html

I'd go back to that thread and edit your post to say to disregard it, or delete it if possible.
