I5 4690k + h81m-p33
I have an i54690k and I'm trying to increase its clock speed on my MSI H81M-P33 motherboard. I can set it to 4.2 GHz but don't know the voltage settings anywhere. The cooler Master Seidon 120V ver.2 works, but then temperatures rise to 75/83 at that speed. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly?
Your motherboard relies on a chipset (H81) that doesn’t support advanced overclocking. Certain H81 models, including yours, offer limited preset settings. Unfortunately, attempting advanced overclocking on an unsupported board is challenging and carries some risk. These boards aren’t built for overclocking. The voltage control units might not be as robust as those on higher-end systems. I previously owned an Asrock motherboard with the H97 chipset, which also couldn’t be overclocked—though it had presets, I wasn’t able to fine-tune the voltages. If you’re serious about advanced overclocking, consider a newer board featuring the Z97 chipset.

I currently use a MSI Z97 Krait Edition motherboard paired with the same CPU, achieving speeds up to 4.3 GHz. Therefore, if you're determined to push performance further, look for Z97-based motherboards...
Your motherboard uses a chipset (H81) that doesn’t support advanced overclocking. Some H81 boards, like yours, offer certain preset settings, but it’s difficult and risky to perform advanced overclocking on non-overclockable systems. The voltage control units might not be as robust as those on higher-end boards. I previously owned an Asrock board with the H97 chipset, which also couldn’t be overclocked—only had presets without voltage adjustment. If you’re serious about overclocking, consider a newer board with the Z97 chipset.

Agreed. I achieved an identical clock speed by changing it through MSI’s command center. As expected, more complex adjustments require tools my Z97 PC Mate or Krait can handle, but your board cannot.
