4.8Ghz Overclock with Asus Software

So I tried out the 5 way optimization on my Asus z97-a motherboard with my new 4790k today & thought I would share the results. I was able to reach a stable Overclock of 4.8ghz.

This software is pretty cool...I've never over clocked before so using a user friendly software tool made this so simple for a first timer, I just thought I would share this with anyone interested in Asus motherboards. I was able to finish the process in less than 10 minutes.

Currently I'm using my Noctua NH-U14s with my 4790k. This software lets you set a temp limit for overclocking. I set 80c on my temp limit and not to surpass and it didn't even reach that it was around 75c max at the 4.7-8Ghz mark.

Hope somebody finds this helpful and so far I'm really impressed with my first Asus motherboard.

Whats the voltage at? A lot of auto-overclocking software keeps the voltage higher than it needs to be.

right on.

 

next do some stability testing\benchmarking or game with the latest AAA titles.

 

let us know how stable that OC is.

I got my 3770k to 4.43GHz with only 1.135v with ASUS auto OCing :)

I think it works great. Never had any system instability or crashes.

I personally wouldn't put the voltage higher than 1.3v. Try to lower it as far as you can at 4.7 or 4.8GHz.

I've watched JJ use that software in a video. Pretty neat how close it gets to matching what normally takes days of manual trial and error. 

 

also, for anyone talking about auto-tuning and high voltages, this is not auto-tune. its a hands-off simulated overclocking trial and error program that mimics the steps a person would normally take when finding stability.

Anyone know how I can return my CPUback to default settings? I wanted to do some tests to compare. I Want it to go 100% back like all stock settings.

I also had a really good result with the Asus auto overclocking software.  It set my i5-4670k to 4.7Ghz @ 1.275v with just a hyper 212 EVO!  The only problem with this software is that is sets load line calibration to a maximum 8/8.  This was causing massive voltage spikes, and creating a lot of unnecessary heat.  Once I set LLC to a more reasonable 4/8, my temperatures dropped by around 6-8C while maintaining stability.

 

The result you get with this auto overclock is always going to come down to how good of a chip you have.  Clearly you have an amazing chip.  I know lots of people people weren't so fortunate and got very bad results, which is the silicon lottery in action.  Its a nice piece of software to get an idea of the kind of chip you have, but I highly recommend doing the overclock manually once you get a rough idea of the kind of chip that you have.

 

@Spev  Go into BIOS and hit F5 to revert back to default.

It still stays the same ?

What is "it"?(What is it?!) <-- The song.

I restart after defaulting the bios and the tuning program still says it's over clocked

Edit: ok I had to default the settings in the software program not the bios and now it worked
