How to Overclock i5-4690k properly
Hey guys,
I am currently trying to get the most out of my processor at this point because I feel like I get poor performance from my games even though my system isn't a horrible set up. However overclocking is just something I have never dabbled in myself so I am looking to the guidance of those who are familiar in it,
I did a bit of reading and installed some programs including cpu-z just to confirm my settings after I tinkered around in my BIOS, I believe I achieved 4.2GHZ I didn't change much in my bios other than setting the frequency to about 4200mhz I didn't adjust the voltage I left it at 1.200 I am uncertain if I should bump it up to 1.3 or just leave it as is.
UPDATE : It was alright until I started playing Titanfall 2 I was able to play for 10 minutes and then a new match for a minute and I got a blank blue screen with nothing on it and I reset everything back to default in BIOS.
My specs are as below :
Windows 10
CPU - I5-4690k
Motherboard - MSI Z97 gaming 5
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM set as a frequency of 1866mhz
MSI R9 390 8GB
750 watt Corsair powersupply
2TB HDD
128GB SSD
Thanks in advance.
