Hello,

I just updated my pc with the following:
-Asus x99 Deluxe
-Intel i7 5930k
-16GB DDR4 Kingston HyperX Predator
-Corsair H100i AiO Cooling
-Existing GPU is EVGA GTX 770
-Running Win 7 Pro

Being new to overclocking, just looking for a decent guide to start with OCing and explanations of the categories/options. Mainly just gaming but may eventually get into more processor intensive stuff just want to optimize for performance now. Don't really want to push it too hard until I understand it more. I'll be trying youtube and google searches but thought someone may know of a really good beginner's guide. Thanks for the help

1. Go to the bios.
2. Hit overclock.
3. ???
4. Profit.

In all seriousness though, Asus boards have a UIBIOS that pretty much will do it for you. Unless you want to try to do it manually there really isn't a huge benefit for doing it yourself other than maybe getting a few hundred mhz higher and using maybe a little less voltage.

Using the included overclocking feature can be a good option, but I'd still definitely recommend doing it manually for a number of reasons (i.e. less voltage required, prolonged processor life, higher oc, etc.). If you do decide to go the auto-oc route though, the guide I linked to covers that too.

I will recommend to do overclocking in bios because it needs less voltage, higher oc and if also increase the processor live comparable to oc by software. Steps:
1) just enable your XMP memory profile if your memory support that.
2) increase the cpu ratio from factory settings a little(whichever smallest possible) and boot in your os.
3) Download cpu stress testing software prime95 and do a stress test around 20 minutes.
4) if it passes then restart and go in bios, increase a little cpu ratio again a little bit.
5) if it passes then repeat 4th method. And if it not passes then go in bios and increase the CPU voltage and again test. Just keep doing that.
6) a time will arrive when the temp will gone so high, at that time you have to stop and keep it to cool.
7) also when doing upper methods you have to keep a eye on your temps.
8) a step will arrive when prime95 will never pass or the temp will gone so high immediately when stress test started, that point you have to stop and you get the unleashed speed of your processor. You got a stable oc now.
