My rig doesn't seem to handle overclocking well.
I'm using a Maximus Hero Vii card with the tuning wizard attempting to boost my CPU beyond the 3.9 Gtz turbo. Even with the box cooler, I get a 25% boost for the GPU and about 20% for RAM. This leads to crashes when starting up.
My system runs an Intel i5 4690k, has a Hero motherboard, 8GB of 1600 MB DDR3 RAM.
Is this too much for my CPU?

Overclocking must always be carried out gradually... adjustments of .1 for performance and .01 for voltages.
Set the default and begin more slowly...

Every CPU is different on how much overclock you can achieve. There is no real way to know what the max you can reach until you try.
Another question maybe on what are the most successful ways people have overclocked that CPU on that motherboard.

Overclocking must always be carried out in tiny steps... adjustments of .1 for performance and .01 for voltages.
Set the default and begin more gradually...

Overclocking must always be performed gradually... adjustments of .1 for performance and .01 for voltage settings.
Set it to default and begin more slowly...
Thanks a lot!
