Hey there, first time trying to overclock, had this cpu chip for about 2-3 years now, though I'd try to push her to the max, okay so let us start
This is the operating system I'm working with.
Using Corsair H80I V2 water cooling for CPU COOLING.
I've first tried to use OC TUNER, that came with my motherboard, was trying to figure out how to do it without, but still would like some advice if possible...
I know it possible to get to 4.4 due to CINEBENCH has a benchmark with someone getting 4.4. I don't even mind getting her to 4.2 Currently it's at 3.5 and turbo boost at 3.9 It is not terrible by any means, but just want to push to the limit.
I only have about a 550-watt power supply, Do you think I need to upgrade that before it will work.
I TRIED to use OC TUNER, and it crashed both times using RATIO FIRST, AND BCLK FIRST.
It was stable for a bit, till I used INTEL BURN TEST, and it crashed at the 9th phase of the test.
The CPU was getting to almost 90C though so i was thinking its to hard on the system, and maybe 4.2 won't get that hot, let me know, been trying to do this for a few days! thanks!
More pictures of the system itself.
Cinebench test.
