overclocking the i7 4790k
i have experience with gpu overclocking but this will be my first time adjusting a cpu. i know the main settings to change are voltage and multiplier, but i need clarification on what xmp stands for in bios. should i enable it during cpu overclocking? additionally, any other advice would be really helpful.
This device features an exceptional memory profile or memory overclocking capability.
I want to run the memory at the base clock speed, I don't want to mess with that right now. I just want to overclock the CPU, so should I keep the XMP settings on or off?
Make sure you're using the stock cooler from Intel or a superior alternative.
I would skip it since you should only increase one component at a time. Until your testing script begins to fail, tweak the ratio. After that, make a slight adjustment to the voltage. This approach helps you understand your system's boundaries effectively.
