Intel XTU overclocking

[Dreaper]

is it possible for someone to give me a step by step overclocking guide for a i7-4790k using XTU, tried looking up videos but only ones are from small people that i dont wanna trust

Why use XTU? Overclock from the BIOS

Do you have an old PS/2 keyboard lying around?

Nope the adapter isnt coming for a week

Get it installed first. See what you can do there.

Don't get the voltage above 1.4V and you will be fine.

 

Can you change the core clock multiplier with XTU?

Yea

Try increase the all-core multiplier to 44.

Should i just set the core voltage to 1.3?

Set that to 1.35 first. You can lower that after you reached the clock speed you want.

Every time i try and put the reference clock past 100.50 it crashes my pc is that due to the voltage it was at?

Don't touch the reference clock. It also changes RAM speed, PCIe bus speed etc.

so what am i supposed to change?

core clock multiplier. This and the core voltage should be the only thing you touch

i was told that sometimes that makes it unstable and the reference clock is what your supposed to do?

If overclock is unstable, increase the voltage to a max of 1.4V. If it's already there then it's the limit.  Reference clock tuning is not for Haswell chips.

So the multipliers for the cores is for turbo clock?

I'm not sure. There should be a stress test function in XTU. Use that and check the freq of CPU

ok so how do i activate turbo clock?
