TEACH ME HOW TO OVERCLOCK! please lol

ive done that i want to be someones grasshopper! TAKE ME UNDER THE WING BABY I WANT TO LEARN THROUGH YOU! SO MUCH BETTER THAN HALF xxx VIDS

<<Language please>>

awesoooome i dont have my parts just yet. afte a few weeks of research i just decided on what components to use and went a little over my original budget of 900-1300$ so i have to save a bit. i accept your offer tohugh that video would be amazzzzing. here is my email aocasio2891@aol.com send me a message and i will let ya know when im ready. IN THE MEAN TIME I WILL CONTINUE TO BROWSE THE WEB TO SHAKE OFF MY NEWBNESS

THAT SWEET CASE AND SSD PUSHED ME OVER

sweet, what are good stress test programs or haswell cpus? aida64? i cant seem to find any reliable information on this matter

people say that prime95 is not recommended for haswell based cpus "1. Stop using AIDA, Prime 95 or anything else like that. Download RoG Real Bench, HWiNFO64 and Intel ETU." do you agree? i want to learn as much as i can before its time to build

what is heaven?

im one to do as much research as possible before doing something i have never done before! it took me a few weeks to come up with my components. i have done a lot of research on the parts i picked as well as overclocking. i have read and watched multiple guides multiple times over. cpu specific, motherboard specific and general overclocking guides highlighting what settings need to be changed and etc. i understand every cpu is different and vary when it comes to overclocking limits even if it is the same model(luck of the draw) i also understand that your cooling solution has a big impact on the limit. for you to assume that i want to take the easy way out and to simply copy someones settings or build thinking that i will get the same results is insulting. for you to assume that i have done half A** research is insulting. i would not have even made this thread if that were the case as the motherboard that i have chosen provides an ai overclock tuner, i could simply use that and be done! my main priority is learning, understanding, and getting valuable information from experienced people before diving head first into something. i have watched dozens of builds be completed and i will continue to watch dozens more until i am completely comfortable with taking on the task, the same goes for overclocking. I say attempt because i am going to try to do it, because i don't know how successful i will be being that it is my first time. what is the problem with that? you say you felt refreshed because you thought and i quote "...someone that actually wants to learn and not take the quick path and learn nothing." yes i want to learn, i want to learn all i can before my try at overclocking i want to learn all i can before the pc is built. why is that an issue? how can you be upset with me because i want to do what was oh so refreshing to you which is take my time to learn? i dont understand that at all. when i open up that bios i want to know exactly what i am doing and exactly what i am looking at. if you want to be a surgeon do you open someone up and learn as you go? no you do not!you learn everything you can before you make your first attempt! that is exactly what i am doing here. Your signature says the most important part to overclocking is understanding. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING BEFORE I EVEN GET TO HOVER MY MOUSE OVER THE BIOS INTERFACE.

YES I WATCH/READ OVERCLOCKING GUIDES TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE BIOS LOOKS LIKE. TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT SETTINGS ARE BEING CHANGED AND WHY THEY ARE BEING CHANGED. I CAN WATCH 20 GUIDES AND IT WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH. I WANT MULTIPLE OPINIONS I WANT RELIABLE SOURCES TO DELIVER INFORMATION TO ME! I WANT TO KNOW AND LEARN AS MUCH AS I CAN BEFORE THE PARTS ARE STARING ME IN THE FACE. I WANT SOME Q AND A! guides do not provide that forums do! OF COURSE PEOPLE WILL RECOMMEND READING AND WATCHING GUIDES THAT IS COMMON SENSE! I DO THAT WITH ALL OF MY FREE TIME I SPEND HOURS DOING THAT! i want opinions on what are the best ways to stress test. HOW LONG IS LONG ENOUGH, WHAT PROGRAMS ARE THE BEST TO USE WHEN STRESS TESTING. EVERYONE HAS DIFF OPINIONS AND I WANT TO HEAR THEM ALL BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOU DO RESEARCH. I WANT MULTIPLE OPINIONS! ONE PERSON SAYING USE X PROGRAM BECAUSE ITS THE BEST IS NOT ENOUGH TO SWAY ME IN A DIRECTION. i want experienced people to say to me yes here is how i do it. not so i can copy settings but so i can learn how they approach it. SO I LEARN HOW TO APPROACH IT. SO I LEARN WHAT TO TWEAK AND HOW TO TWEAK IT IF I GET BLUE SCREENED. thankfully i found someone. hcollet agreed to be my guru and i am oh so grateful for that! when the time comes we will chat and he will provide me with information when needed and until that time comes i will continue my research. im sorry for going on like that but come on dude...please dont assume things. i do not care for the back and forth either so please only comment back if you are willing to continue to aid me in my journey. thank you for the links i will add them to my bookmarks. feel free to shoot over some more

im not looking to push the cpu to its absolute limits i want a safe performance boosting overclock after all i am a noob. maybe i will push it further once i gather some experience.

i dont mean to come off rude but dude in my op i said "basically be my overclocking guru!! make me your pupil! school me! give me links or something idk!!!!". i did not say hey guys give me all of your settings so i can copy them i want the easy way out i need no information. If you look at my components you would see that i chose the z97-a mobo that comes with software to auto tune an overclock. if i wanted it easy i would use the 5-way optimization software but i know that it would raise the cpu voltage higher than needed so i dont want to do that. how do i know this? oooooh i did research!!! i didnt come here blind! so insulting man but anyway ... thank you for the input!!for the cooler i went with the h100i so i know i will keep the temps low and as for the psu i chose a tier 1 class a psu(based on a tomshardware thread) lit should do well being that it is a platinum psu...looks like i did my research there also. yes i know passive aggressive but grrrrrr im a bit ticked off.

i went a tad bit over my budget but that is ok. i dont mind waiting a little longer to save if it means having more performance and quality parts! BY THE WAY. is my choice of ram good? or would you recommend something else? like sniper or gskill x series?

you are right i dont know the level of their expertise but they are willing to help lol its better than nothing i guess. i have looked at the i7 4790k before and decided to go with the lil bro because of my budget but i guess i can just save more for the boost in performance. when you overclock do you do it per core or do you sync all cores?
