How to overclock a CPU?

[★ Coups ★]

Hey I'm wanting to overclock my CPU. It's an i7-4790k at 4.00Ghz and I have no idea where to start. 

 

 

Specs are in my signature. 

 

Basically;

How do I do it? 

Any suggestions on where to start?

Use this guide,  http://www.overclock.net/t/1411077/haswell-overclocking-guide-with-statistics so you wont screw up your cpu by following the overclocking.net guides, they are better and safer way to go if this is your first time.

Uh...............what the heck are you talking about?

Linus overclocks perfectly fine, you can't "screw up your CPU" by following an overclocking guide that linus made.

I meant so you cant, typed really fast... Linus guides are good, though overclocking.net is much much better, giving the fact they do take community benchmarking, and overclocking information from the said generation. It is a much through guide and will give you better results than linus. Linus is really just going into the 101, which is not bad, but when I OC the first time I would of really prefer a better understanding on what I am doing and what others have done.

Can't go wrong with OCN tbh.
