Having built my first rig just before Christmas i had overclocking in mind down the road for potential future proofing and earn stripes as a gaming rig builder.
I had time today so i set up my Devils canyon 4690k for an overclock in the miss bios.
I took it up to 4.6ghz at 1.25v with ram set down to 1600ghz like linus suggested in his video but no dice.
Rebooted to bios.
I didnt fancy trying 1.3 + because ive only got a cooler master hyper 212 evo with artic silver thermal paste in there.
I dialled it down to 4.4ghz at 1.25v but got a reboot again.
4.3ghz at 1.25v was the highest stable overclock i could get on static in gaming with nvidia recording on ( star wars battlefront extreme edition ) and 2 hours in Aida64 extreme system stability test.
I didnt think long term this would be good for my chip so i took it down to a modest 4.2ghz at 1.21v
which isnt to be sniffed at since the kaby lake i5 7600k i recently fitted to a build i did for friend has a boost of 4.2ghz.
It came out stable. I went into bios, swapped static to dynamic and enabled xmp profile 1 for my kingston hyper X savage 1866ghz (2x4GB) CL9 8GB dual channel memory kit.
All is working well after another 2 hour Aida64 extreme system stability test and another few games in sw bf.
