Hello! How can I help you improve the processor on that particular MoBo? I've already optimized the i7 up to 4.5 with just the multiplier change, and it's running around 30 degrees during advanced warfare and Witchers 3 at max settings. I'm not very experienced with overclocking, so I'd appreciate any suggestions. 😊

So you're using auto Vcore? I wouldn't push your CPU beyond manual Vcore settings to reach stable 4.5ghz. Trying to overclock with auto Vcore isn't recommended. Keep it under 1.4vcore for continuous performance. Are you asking about a fixed or boosted frequency?
