Do you have any ideas to improve the overclock settings for your build?
Do you have any ideas to improve the overclock settings for your build?
I'm trying to achieve a performance increase beyond the stock level. Therefore, I need someone to offer their most accurate estimate of the highest OC configurations I can use without causing stability problems. I'm experiencing difficulties with stock settings in games, and I doubt my system specifications (though fairly old) aren't leading to as many performance problems as I am. Here are my hardware details:

Please inform me if you notice any problems with my current configuration. I've adjusted settings extensively but found them stable. Any suggestions on optimizing for peak performance would be greatly appreciated! Don't hesitate to ask for more details about my setup or hardware, and I'll do my best to clarify.
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.
