Hello everyone!
I recently completed my first gaming PC build, and I might need a little help with overclocking the CPU. I'm kind of new to this business.
It's an Intel Core i5-4690K on an Asus Z97-A motherboard, with an 600-Watt ATX12V power supply. The cooler is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
The highest temperature I've seen it reach up until now is around 60°C while playing Firewatch on max settings.
The problem is, I tried using the auto tuner feature from both the BIOS and the AI Suite III software, and it crashed Windows either immediately or on boot, depending on if I was doing it through the BIOS or not (BlueScreen). So, I guess I'm going to have to do this manually, since after some reading it seems that auto tuning does not work well with all CPUs.
What should I overclock it to, and how would I do it exactly?
