Overclocking i7-4790k CPU cache assistance
It's similar to what the title suggests. My CPU has two configurations. One runs smoothly at 4.6GHz and 1.22V for about 8 hours in Prime95, while the other at 4.7GHz and 1.23V lasts around 12 hours. Recently, the second setting caused crashes during gameplay after 15-25 minutes. I raised the voltage to 1.24V, which allowed me to play for over 30 minutes without issues. The cache is set to auto, but should I enable it or keep it on auto and run a stress test with Prime95 again?
If you increased the voltage slightly and didn’t face issues in the game, you can run Prime again or realbench is what I prefer. Or simply keep it at 4.6.
I raised the 4.7GHz voltage from 1.23V to 1.24V without problems, but I only played for 30 minutes before stopping because I got bored.
Should I bother adjusting the CPU cache or leave it on auto?
If I should adjust it, what value should I use?

It seems unclear, I couldn't locate it on RealBench.
Or are you talking about Event Viewer on Windows?
On windows your computer is unstable so your overclocking won't work or check your power supply—it's a crucial part for overclocking. I don't use event viewer, so I'm unsure what to look for or where to start. I have a 630W PSU, and even after checking the power requirements with everything overclocked, it wasn't close to 600W. My PC only reached a maximum of 500W with everything overclocked.

My PC only reached a maximum of 500W when everything was overclocked. When searching in the start menu for event viewer, different manufacturers produce lower quality PSUs; you'll need a high-quality one for successful overclocking.
