i5 4690k overclock?
You should consider using the motherboard's "OC Genie" for optimal performance.
The maximum overclock achievable is mainly influenced by your luck in the bin lottery.
I had high hopes for the Devil's canyon sections and their better airflow.
It turned out that those airflows aren't crucial unless you're a serious overclocker.
Haswell performs well, but things start to change once you push the voltage above 1.25v.
After reaching around 1.3v, strong cooling becomes essential to manage stress levels under about 85°C.
Most experts agree that voltages above 1.30 are not ideal for continuous use.
I haven't found any official guidance from Intel on a safe vcore limit.
The automated motherboard overclocking tends to be quite forceful.
Keep the BIOS set to auto...
OC Genie will provide a solid understanding of what your system can achieve, but I would then examine the settings it selected and verify that it isn't overusing the vCore. It's recommended to fine-tune the overclock yourself and thoroughly test it before making any long-term commitment.
OC Genie will provide a clear understanding of your system's performance, but I recommend examining the settings it selects closely. Adjust the overclock if necessary and thoroughly test it before fully committing to it for extended use.

The automated overclocking tools tend to be quite forceful.
In BIOS, keep everything in auto mode, including RAM.
Increase the multiplier slowly and perform stress tests with OCCT (it uses standard instructions unlike prime95).
Keep an eye on vcore and temperature.
OCCT will stop the test once it hits 85°C.
Avoid letting vcore exceed 1.3v.
Once you reach your limit, reduce it slightly.
Adopt adaptive voltage and speed adjustments to lower the multiplier and vcore when the CPU is under light load.
You won't be able to achieve stress conditions during gaming.
Excessive heat or too many vCore can harm your CPU eventually. More vCore leads to even higher temperatures. In short, determine the highest safe vCore for your chip and stay well below it. Monitor your temperatures to...
