So following this thread found here, i decided to take a swing at over clocking. It didn't seem all that hard and i wanted to push more performance out of my i5, mainly because it's bottle necking my system especially when playing GTA 5. The CPU usage is usually 94%-100% which actually makes this annoying "popping effect" even when running 45 - 60 frames on a gtx 970.
However i followed everything on that thread using those same numbers he used which go as follow:
"1. Set "All Core" CPU Multiplier to 44X
2. Set CPU cache Multiplier also called the Ring bus multiplier to 35
3. Set Fixed CPU Vcore to 1.25 -1.30v
4. Set CPU Cache Voltage also could be called Ring Bus voltage to 1.20v -1.25vv
5. Set Vrin also called "CPU Input Voltage" To 1.9v - 2.1v"
I restarted saved/exited and started up windows which actually ran without error (somewhat excited, being that it didn't crash for my first time), and using realtemp, cpu-z, and Intel Burn test I began the stress test, which was actually running temps of 80-95 (yikes!) so i decided to stop the test to avoid any damaging. Also it seems that he is getting more GFlops than what i'm getting, does this matter? and this is where I'm kinda stuck, should i lower the voltage and multiplier? and if so by how much? Any help would be greatly appreciated especially for someone who's new to this.
Below are some pics from CPU-Z, IntelBurnTest and Realtemp as well as my specs.
P.S.: I did decide to run GTA 5 and it ran temps under 70 for the 10 minutes that i played (around 60C-70C), so i'm not exactly sure if this is relevant but i decided to include it.
Specs:
ASRock Z87 Extreme4
Intel Core i5-4670k @3.4GHZ (OC of 4.4GHZ)
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3 @ 666MHz
