Hello, im new to overclocking and i want to learn something about it, so i will start with some questions, but first let me reveal my specs, i have:
Core i5 4690k (Non-overclocked)
Asus Z97-E
Cooler Master Seidon 120V (ver.2)
Asus Radeon HD 7850 DCU2 (Ver.2)
Corsair CX600
1x500GB, 1x1TB WD BLUE HDD
120GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD
1x120mm CM Jetlflo blue LED Fan
in addition, i live in middle east, kurdistan to be more specific, which is hot, so my room temperature while the AC is off are pretty high (32c) , even with the liquid cooler on, my CPU temperature is between 36-40c while running 2 browsers. (chrome & Maxthon)
but when the AC is on. the room temperature is 20c, and cpu temp while idle is 23-27c, maximum 30.
while gaming, or under load, and AC off, the cpu temperature reaches 60c stable. and doesnt go up more. even with the prime95 maximum heat test. it doesnt go above 60c.
so here are the question i got, although i wont be overclocking soon because of my PSU (According to this website my psu is tier 3 and is not recommended for overclocking)
- Where do i change the CPU voltage/frequency? is there a specific program or do i do it in BIOS?
- which do i change first? voltage or frequency? i already know that i have to increase frequency by 0.1 (100mhz) and voltage by 0.001 each time till i get a stable Frequency
- how do i know i have a stable frequency? how do i know when to stop?
-what are the risks?
- how much will it increase my idle and full load temperature?
Sorry for the long post, Thanks.
