Overclock settings.

[Lardy]

Hello, I am new to this website so please excuse me if I do not go through proper protocols or this is in the wrong forum category. 

 

 

I am a new PC gamer that recently built a system back in June. I happy with my system overall but with a few exceptions. One of which is my low fps on certain cpu intense games such as Arma 3, which I get around 20 fps on high slot servers. So I have been trying to overclock my system. I use a Z97-A, a i5-4690K, a Hyper T4, and 8 gb of ddr3 (if that matters when overclocking). When I load my BIOS and I go to the EZ Wizard where it asks my pc scenario, after I confirm the settings and attempt to launch windows my computer just crashes. Any ideas?

Not having a graphic card might not help either. :>

I did not put all of my computer specs down, only the ones I thought were relevant. If it does matter, I use a gtx 970 strix.

You have bit weak cooler for any bigger oc. And you should do it manually. Watch some guide videos made by Linus and others to get to know different settings in BIOS. Can't link because on phone.

Settings you are looking to change are core multiplier and core voltage. Those are the main ones but to achieve best solution, check some guides.
