I've looked all over and haven't found anything simple on how to overclock. I have an i5-4670k and an MSI Z87-G41 motherboard. I have two things I need to know;
There's an OC genie button in the bios but I don't know what voltage and frequency it will use but I heard it uses way more voltage than necessary and I'm using air cooling. I've looked in the manual but it provides no information on what exactly it does other than if you're inexperienced, use it.
If I manually OC, how can I make it so that idle temps and voltages stay the same but it turbos to a higher frequency and voltage adaptively without giving itself too much power. I want adaptive but want to set the max freq. and voltage. What settings do I need to change to do this? Do I just set the ratio and voltage and set it to adaptive? Will it be smart enough not to go over the voltage I set?
Thanks!
