Safe overclock

Go to solution Solved by Jacktastic-Mofo,

For my i5-4690k I have the voltage a 1.3v and the multiplier at 48 so I have a speed of 4.8Ghz stable, however I'm gonna start going for 5Ghz later on today.

Rule of OC.

 

Up the clock until it's unstable then increase the voltage.
repeat until load temps are safe or satisfactory, for most intel chips that will be 80C.
 

But I really wouldn't push it that far, 1.4V tops and 1.3V for daily usage (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/2vsji3/help_what_is_the_max_safe_voltage_for_an_i5_4690k/)

How do I up the multiplier and the voltage? Do I use the bios or do I use a program?

You do it in the BIOS, what board do you have?
