mahco Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey there, First off, this is my first post on HWBOT so forgive me if it's not in the right section. I got myself a 4790k and a maximus VII hero not too long ago, and I want to start getting more into overclocking it. I succeeded in overclocking to 4.8 ghz, but the performance generally gets worse than the standard clock, especially in cpu demanding games. Is there someone willing to explain me how to properly overclock my 4790k and how my previous overclock caused more lag than standard frequency? Thanks a bunch!

TerraRaptor Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Lags are caused by overheating. Take care temperature be lower tjmax - cool better, set voltages lower. Start with 1.6v vccin and 1.25 vcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahco Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 The thing is, it's not overheating at all. It has never hit more than 45c even when playing 3 games at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraRaptor Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Lol. I saw +45c @5ghz full load using single stage. What software you use for temperature monitoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
