I am looking to get the maximum performance out of my CPU to be able to run a game that will be released next month to its fullest potential. I am looking to get that performance by overclocking my CPU. I have heard others say they can reach a stable 4.7, 4.8, and even 5.0GHz. I am unable to reach even 4.5 without BSoD-ing whenever I try to run a benchmark. I am looking for advice on how to effectively go about overclocking the CPU. I am aware of the dangers of voltage tweaking, so I did not want to mess with it until I get a second opinion. Does anyone know of a safe voltage range and clock range to set my CPU for and if not, how can I find the safest and most stable voltage and clockspeed to overclock with? Or if this is a lost cause and I should abandon all hopes of successfully overclocking.
Additional Information: I would also like to be able to overclock my GPU along with my CPU, but the CPU is the primary focus. Primary system specs are as follows:
AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core
Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 ATX FM2+
G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400
Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB DirectCU II
