I have looked around the internet for months trying to find an answer to this question. Many of the guides are fairly complicated and that's fine, but I was hoping that I could get a more personally catered guide with the help of some experts. I'm a little bit of a nooby with overclocking, but I'm not a complete idiot, and I'm fairly familiar with overclocking lingo (maybe not all but some).
I have an i7 4770K and I think that the Asus Maximus VI Hero Motherboard has it automatically overclocked to 3.9GHZ in the bios some how (through some auto setting). I also have a Cooler Master V8 GTS aftermarket cooler with high quality thermal paste.
Wondering how far I can push it past where it is. I'm wanting it a little bit higher because the temperatures are extremely low but the last time I used Dual Intelligent Processors in AISuite3, it overclocked the CPU to 4.2GHZ and caused my computer to blue screen more than I'd like to admit. It usually occurred while the CPU was under heavy stress loads during gaming + live streaming.
I understand that Hardware overclocking is far more reliable when done through the BIOS than it is when done through software.
I'm thinking that the blue screen was being caused by the artificial-like overclocking of Dual Intelligent Processors, rather than by the stressload of streaming at 4.2GHZ.
I just feel as though the i74770K in my current system build with the extra cooling hardware could handle more than that and maintain stability.
If I'm wrong please let me know!
Thanks in advance,
