So, recently I have built a new Rig out so I can play my games at fine 1080p with few to no fps problems. My Specs are as follows:
Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5 Motherboard
Intel i5 4690k Quad Core CPU (STOCK COOLER)
Gigabyte Windforce Radeon 390 (No Problems despite the reviews
)
I decided to overclock, and me being a beginner, I had little knowledge.... after I did some reading
I overclocked my i5 to about a stable 4.6 GHz, however I knew that was WAY to much heat for my stock cooler and full speed fans to handle, so I decided to change it to a stable 3.9 Ghz and it seemed to work fine for me.
However, I made the fatal mistake of overclocking using Gigabyte's EZTune, and now I have a problem on my hands.
I using the max temp. of 72.72 degrees C for temperature management found here: (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core%20i5-4690K.html)
So, I put my settings to absolute maximum with my specs on one of my games, and it performs BEUTIFULLY. However, when I was monitoring temps for my CPU with CPUID (HWMonitor). I saw that after an hour or two, it would go up to 72..... I instantly though the problem was to much voltage.
Since EZTune has way to many options I decided I could reset my overclock to stock Easy Peesy loading optimized defaults. Now though, even resetting the BIOS won't reset my overclock to stock settings! I am scared of putting my CPU under to much heat and I would really like to keep this computer for a few years. I also realized that perhaps with my GPU I don't need an overclocked CPU.
I have searched for how to reset my overclock, and the only thing I have found is taking out the CMOS.
However, I really prefer NOT doing that unless I have no other choice, is their perhaps any other way I could do this? Maybe doing a System Restore?..
Or, do you guys recommend I KEEP my overclocked CPU with Stock Cooling and edit the voltages through the software somehow?
I'm kind of open to any solution other than taking the battery out (It's now hidden by the Graphics card and the card itself is as wide as my motherboard so I would prefer not taking it out :lol
