Hey guys,
So i want to OC my CPU, but i do not know what to do first, i OC'ed an i5 4770k before but that was only changing the multiplier to 40 (4.00 ghz OC) and i didn't even touch the voltage, it wasn't needed, because the system ran stable, and there were no crashes or hangs during the stresstests of AIDA64.
So now for my own CPU i have the following setup:
I7 4770k
Gigabyte Z87x-UD5H
Corsair H100i WaterCooling
16 Gb Kingston HyperX DDR3-1866
At the moment the I7 is running at stock speed (3.5 Ghz).
Everything in the BIOS is at defaults and i haven't touched anything yet,
so my questions are the following:
I want an OC of approx. 4.2-4.4 ghz, what should i change in the bios (voltages, multipliers etc.)?
Do i have to change the memory clock of my memory? it is running at stock so maybe it could be a bit faster to not bottleneck anything. And if I do, how? (either way, i want to know how to do it )
Are there any bottlenecks possible if i don't OC my memory?
What is a safe voltage for my cpu and what are safe temps with my cooler, because a lot of people say 1.25 volt is enough but maybe it could be a bit lower.
Thank you very much in advance and i look forward to your answers!
(Sorry for any questions that may have been asked before, my sincere apology for that matter)
