4790K Cache setting?

[Copyright]

I was doing some reading and it was advised to set Cache speed min and max to 39. Is that correct for overclocking a 4790K? What does it normally do on default?

the higher the cache ratio the most performance you can get of your chip but also it make it harder to achieve higher overclocks.. people generally tend to recommend to keep the cache at 3bins lower than the CPU core multiplier, even if the ideal case scenario would be to keep cache multiplier equal at core multiplier.. but will it make noticeable the performance? probably in benchmark as cache affect the effective system bandwidth (by a large margin in some cases) but hardly in the real world usage I think..

I think the main thing to practice is, lower that to a safe setting, while you are finding the max stable overclock of your CPU. Once you figure out how fast your cores will run, and settle on a stable speed - then you should try bumping that setting up to see how high it can go.
