I've started, in the past, to overclock my 4690K but I found that in games, particularly GTAV, the computer would crash over and over. At the time I had my 4690K running around 4.5-4.6Ghz while the voltage was set is AUTO as I'm a novice at this.
How might I make it stable?
Since then, I just have my processor on Turbo.
