CPU overclock

[cheekboys]

Hi, I am trying to overclock my CPU using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. I have an Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4 GHZ, can anyone tell me what is the best way to go about overclocking it?

go up in small increments and use prime 95 to test it

go up in small increments and use prime 32 to test it

You mean go up on the reference clock? What do you mean in small increments, how much is small? Sorry this is my first time overclocking a CPU.

use the multiplier also, use the bios, its better to overclock in the bios than with software, even if intel make it.

Prime95 is not recommended for stress testing on Haswell. The best program to use for stress testing for Haswell and avoid sudden voltage increases is Intel XTU. I would also recommend @ProKoN 's guide

I personally have not done haswell but I didn't know there was a difference

What I do is put the max voltage that you're comfortable with and then start cranking up the core clock until its unstable
