Question Optimized Overclock for my Build? Suggestions? Please?

[nicktt10]

Attempting to get a performance boost past stock. So I am looking for someone to give me a their best guess on the highest OC Settings I can go without risking stability issues. I'm having issues at stock settings in games and don't believe my system specs (Although relatively old) should have as many performance issues that I have. My hardware specifications are listed below:

Computer Specifications:

• Case: Deepcool Pangu v2
• Motherboard: Asus Z87-PRO
• CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K
• CPU Cooler: Corsair H55
• GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 980 WindForce 3X OC ( GV-N980WF3OC-4GD )
• RAM: 4x2 Ballistix Sport XT DDR3 1866 ( BLS4G3D18ADS3 )
• PSU: Antec HCG-620M
• HDD: Seagate ST10000DM003-1ER162
• DVD/ROM: LG GH24NSC0
• Monitor: Acer XFA240
• Keyboard: Razer DeathStalker Essential
• Mouse: Logitech G602
• Headset: Logitech G430

Current BIOS Settings for Hardware:

Spoiler: Settings

• CAS# Latency: 10.0
• RAS# to CAS#: 10
• RAS# Precharge: 10
• tRAS: 30
• tRC: 45
• Command Rate: 2
• GPU VDDC: 1.2 (Under Load) 0.85 (Idle) (Stock)
• GPU Clock: 1308 MHz
• GPU Boost clock: 1409 MHz
• GPU Memory: 1923 MHz
• Power Limit Minimum: 37.0%
• Power Limit Maximum: 111.1%

Please let me know if you see any issues with my current settings, I have tinkered around with it but found these settings to be stable for me. If anyone has any input on what I can optimize for maximum performance out of my build I would greatly appreciate it! Feel free to ask for any clarification on settings or hardware I have and I will do my best to provide it.

Just for somewhere to start- your mobo is better and you've a water cooler- I've an i5-4690K on an ASUS B86M-G mobo OC'ed to anywhere up to 4.5GHz with stock cooler below 1.25V, for stability and temps I'm closing in on 4.4GHz- still work in progress. I began with the ASUS auto recommendation, which started me @ 4.3GHz with a lot of auto settings, then tweaked CPU Core Voltage manually from the ASUS-provided Auto value some from there.

If you're looking for a guide on how to proceed, here's one (with stats on what #s others have got), there are many others. Or video, didn't see this 1st time since not my mobo but looks good for yours. There's also the ASUS RoG site/forum for info.
