Hello, can someone help me, I have an i5 4690k and an h97 gaming 3 and the processor does not reach 3.90mhz, the maximum it reaches is 3.70, I would like to know how I have to make it work at 3.90mhz
I tried to overclock but they told me that on h97 boards you can't just z97 and I want to know if it's true and if I could overclock over 4.0 mhz.Are you trying to overclock?
if you're trying to over clock download intel extreme tuning utility

That is the maximum speed when a single core is active. As more cores become active, the maximum CPU speed decreases.processor does not reach 3.90 GHz
That sounds like the correct speed when all 4 cores are active during a stress test. You need a Z series motherboard if you want to run all cores at 3.90 GHz or faster.the maximum it reaches is 3.70 GHz
How do I do it? Are there risks?On intel it says your motherboard supports the turbo boost of 3.90

look under the compatibility and the chip set supports it.
i would go over intel's overclocking of 3.90Ghz
