A little help overclocking

So I finally made the switch to Intel and when going through the bios I was basically raped by all the settings.

So do I have to change any of the settings other than, the core clock ratio, and the voltage?

I'm using a maximus vii hero and a 4690k

Soz guys

Also, what would be a good over clock?

Voltage and multiplier should be good.

Depends on the chip. My chip doesn't overclock very well at all. I would try 1.2v and 4.6ghz

If your new look up some tutorials or just use the auto overclocking thing :P

I usually start by seeing the highest stable multiplier at stock voltages and run that as my daily OC. keep it under 1.35 volts to avoid degradation.

Here's a simple 4.4GHz overclock guide to get you started:

 

 

 

 

First things to change in the Bios. Make sure you are on your newest bios before overclocking. 

1. Set "All Core" CPU Multiplier to 44X
2. Set CPU cache Multiplier also called the Ring bus multiplier to 35
3. Set Fixed CPU Vcore to 1.25 -1.30v
4. Set CPU Cache Voltage also could be called Ring Bus voltage to 1.20v -1.25vv
5. Set Vrin also called "CPU Input Voltage" To 1.9v - 2.1v

DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT mix up the "Cpu Voltage" and the "CPU Input Voltage". One is for the CPU and the other for the On Die VRM's. 

Save and reboot into windows. 
Use your favorite Stress tool. I used IBT on High and monitor temps with Realtemp or some other monitoring program.
Run it for 10 Runs or 20 or whoever you feel comfortable with. I run it for 10 usually. If it doesn't blue screen you after the 5th run you could assume you're stable. Again run it for as many times as you want. Get through 10 or 20 runs and no crash? Congratulations you're stable and you can fine tune.

Some extra's. Some bios' will add in a little offset voltage for both the CPU and Cache. Mine was .8 for the CPU and .4 for the Cache. If that happens put the lowest setting you can. Not "Auto" but .01 for each. My ASRock board did but i don't know if yours will.
