Saw in the bios that you can enable a option and make it do 4/4.1/4.2/..... all the way up to 4.5 Is this a safe OC for this processor? is this something i could just click on one of those hit ok and not have to worry about issues?

I'm not trying to be a dick by any means but did you even read my post?
I've OCed 4790ks and stuff before. Just a jump from 3.3 to 4+ as a minimum in the bios seems strange to me.

Did autotune in the A-tuning that came with my board. Is this all look right? im happy with it if it is. 4.3 is higher then i was expecting for a auto tune.
 


I just read all the posts again. No mention of you doing overclocking in the past. Sorry if I offended you. Posters here do tend to not read the original posters needs at times. Your question seemed to be that of someone that hasn't overclocked before. Sorry.

Sorry for snapping. Not sure why I did last night as i re read your post and didnt find offence. Must have just read it wrong the first time. My apology friend :) and thanks for the suggestions.
 


Thanks, try to remember people that answer your posts are trying to help. Though, admittedly, they don't always help.
