So I built my first PC just over a month ago and I want to get the best possible overclock it can handle for the CPU.

I have an ASROCK Z170 PRO4 motherboard with a CORSAIR H80i V2 CPU cooler.

I have messed around with some light overclocking but I want to know what the exact settings are that need to be changed, not just setting the multiplier and changing the core voltage.

Currrenting I have a stable overclock at 4.5 with 1.32 fixed core voltage, I use IntelBurnTest and passed multiple times with standard and above.

I am looking for a step by step guide from what I need to disable or enable in the BIOS along with what settings are a must.

Thanks much for looking :)

First of all... If you wanted to overclock, why did you buy an ASRock board? They're basically a cheaper Asus, and because of that, you don't get the
quality that you do from Asus.

Second... If you wanted to overclock, why did you buy such a weak cooler?

To answer your question of what all needs changed... I think that the multiplier and core clock are all that need to be changed. You could change the base clock, but that may cause memory issues.

We also don't want to overload power delivery systems, so I wouldn't try changing anything else.

Hey, well this is my first PC build as I said. When I was choosing parts every single part had their ups and downs with reviews. The parts that I chose were definitely not the most expensive but they were far from cheap. The CPU cooler cools very well and people easily overclock with air coolers. So the the water cooler I have is more than enough to cool sufficiently. The motherboard also lets me overclock very nicely. I do not believe any of these part are cheap. Anyhow with the current overclock I have at 4.5 with the fixed voltage my idle on each core is only 25 -27C. The intel burn test average temps were low 60's C. I am really just wondering what all is a must In the BIOS for an exact overclock. Thanks for the input
