Having issues with the Asus Suite 3 overclocking processor unit as it struggles to reach beyond 4.3GHz despite being liquid cooled?
Maybe I am not supplying it with enough adaptive voltage?
Are there any good tutorials out there to help me push my cpu to the max at safe temperatures when desired?

Do ALOT of reading on how to overclock in general. There is no simple way around it.

Also, 4.3 is meh, but those newer i-series CPU's aren't known for the high clocks of the older ones, but they have better architectures...

My i7-2600K is stable at 4.6Ghz, but I was able to pushs it to 4.8Ghz with hyper-threading turned off, and I'm running on air cooling.

It's all about small tunes, and checking. It is VERY time consuming.
