Just putting together my new rig, and for the first time have decided to try some proper overclocking. While I understand the principle of the process- slowly increase the multiplier, validate and repeat...I am not so sure how to gauge the voltage correctly. Having done some research, I've read many a horror story of people overdoing their voltage and frying the chip while looking for stability. Therefore, my question is this- how do I know what my maximum safe voltage is, without running the risk of pushing it too far?

 

 Will be overclocking a i5 4690K on a Asus Ranger VII using the H105 for cooling.

 

Cheers for the help!
