Hello everyone,
I am brand new to overclocking. I have had my PC for about 2 years now, and just started thinking about overclocking and I want to try it. I would like to OC my CPU (and possibly my RAM, and Video card). I am hoping to get some safe settings to use as I don't have much time to do this. Also please explain which settings to change in a GIGABYTE BIOS. I have looked up a few videos but none of them pertain to my specific specs, and I cannot find any good videos for a GIGABYTE BIOS. Specs below. If you need any other info, or have any questions please just leave a response below. I use it for gaming for about 4 hours at a time (sometimes more).
TIA
Specs:
CPU: i5-4690k @ 3.5 GHZ
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z97MX-Gaming 5
RAM: 16GB Dual-Channel DDR3
Video Card: 2GB MSI GTX 770
Storage: SAMSUNG 840 EVO 256GB
WD Caviar Blue 1TB (I believe)
Reg CD/DVD drive
EVGA 600B
Corsair 300R Windowed (only the case fans that come with it)
