hey guys, I need help overclocking my cpu. I have an intel 4790k and a msi gaming 7 motherboard. It's currently running at boost speed of 4.4ghz through oc genie. I'm gonna be doing a lot of cpu intesnsive work over the next three month.
I would appreciate some help

Thanks

Do you cap out your current processor ? I personally have never seen the need to overclock any higher end proc and board.. what memory are you running with that setup ?

when i get to task manager I get 98% usage on the cpu I use 16gb @2133mhz gskill ram.

The first thing you'll want to do is not use the OC Guru. Go back to stock and OC manually for the best results.

What I like to do is then start to undervolt the CPU. Lower your voltage bit and bit (while running Intel Burn Test and other stress tests) until it is unstable and your desktop crashes. Now we've got your CPU running at stock and voltage is lower so it's running cooler as well.

Now the fun starts - set your bus speed to 100MHz (this makes OCing easier as you'll be increasing the multiplier). Now you can increase your multiplier to 41 (as I believe it should be at 40 - 40 x 100MHz = 4GHz stock clock).

So you've increased your multiplier to 41, giving you a clock speed of 4.1GHz at your lower voltage. Now you can run your Burn Test or other stress test to confirm the voltage is enough to run at that speed. If not, increase your voltage by a small amount (maybe 0.25v) until it is stable again.

All you would need to do is continue increasing the multiplier by 1 and increasing the voltage until it is completely stable.

Perfect.

It's not a quick one hour job. I spent most of a Saturday performing stress tests and over clocking to reach 5GHz stable.
