After finishing midterms and feeling bored, I finally decided to try overclocking since I had lurked on the OC forum for a while. I decided to follow the Haswell OC guide at overclocking.com on my phone while fiddling with my PC.
I realized that my UEFI seem to have different terminology than the one described in the guide (i.e. there's no ring bus in my UEFI), so I changed what I thought are the settings described.
For those who have the MOBO and CPU, can you verify what I have done is correct so far?
1. Loaded the optimized default settings
2. Set AI overclock tuner to manual
3. Synced the core ratios to 44
4. Increased Vcore to 1.2 V (I believe people here don't recommend above this voltage)
With the above changes, everything boots properly. CPU-Z reads 1.202 Vcore and Core speed of 4398 MHz.
Is this everything that needs to be done before stress testing? I'm not sure if I just didn't find uncore and core for "For stress testing neither uncore nor core should be at adaptive mode.", or it has a different name in the ASUS UEFI.
Also, I think I will be using AIDA 64 for the stress test. Are there anything else I should use?
Thanks for all the help! If something I asked is covered in a guide that I haven't found, please link me!
