4790k overclocking

[FunkyFeatures]

So i've tried to follow linus' guide to haswell refresh overclocking with my 4790k. I got to 4.6(46x)ghz and 1.252v. I am scared to continue, as i've heard i should increase the cache or ring speed as well. Do i need to do it, and does linus have a video of that too?

Okay, I found 1.202v to be stable with a 4.6ghz overclock.

 

Now I want to know, how do I do the cache speed thing? I have a Maximus VII Ranger motherboard.

Also - when going into adaptive voltage, I tried doing -0.048v, but that is the minimum for some reason, and when running aida, it bumps up to 1.237v instead of 1.202v. Why? And help please. Also, it never goes below 4600mhz anymore, why does it do that too?

No you don't need to adjust the cache speed, if it is running stable and performing well enough to your needs. And it bumps up to 1.237v because, it starts it at the stock voltage which is 1.25v I believe on your setup, and applying a -0.048v adjustment lowers the maximum voltage down to 1.202, but sometimes it will go over or below that amount depending on what you have enabled in the bios. It also doesn't go below 4600MHz anymore because, setting the speed manually disables intel speed step so it will always run at 4.6GHz.

Okay, thanks!
