I have very little experience in overclocking. I do know from my research that MOST people agree the standard setups in the "EZ Mode" of the ASUS Bios deliver unnecessary voltages for the boost to 4.9-5.0 ghz.
I'm not trying to be gung ho...I just want to get to a solid OC without getting into dangerous territory.
Any advice on this build would be great, including what programs are best for stress testing. Thanks in advance.
