Hey fellow followers of the Republic of the deep red Asus gamers! I recently retired my faithful but aging i5 2500k setup anbuilt myself a new Haswell gaming setup with the following specs:
Devils Canyon i7 4790k
Asus ROG Maximum Hero VII mobo
Thermaltake True Spirit 140 Power HSF cooler
G.Skill Trident X 2400mhz DDR3 16 Gig RAM
ASUS STRIX 980 4gig
Samsung Evo 500gig SSD
But with a new setup, im at a complete loss as out to PROPERLY do mild overclock on my basically begging for it i7 4790k CPU and sexy Hero VII motherboard. I've done tons of research on the web and on here, but im still really confused on how to properly do this. I started getting frustrated with all the information overload and confusion on what settings to change/not to change, explanation of settings in the motherboard etc....
What I really needed and would like is a specialized personal guide with visual's, tips and information for my EXACT motherboard and CPU with the most current BIOS.
Not only would this greatly help me learn how to properly do overclocking on this new rig, but this guide will also help other owners of the HERO VII motherboard and or 4790k owners as well!
But asking for someone to make me a customized how to guide for overclocking? That's kinda asking a lot I thought. So.... then I thought, why not give people a bit of an incentive, like a prize? A contest! Perfect!
So here is my proposal!
CONTEST: Make me a personalized guide/walkthrough/visual aid on how to overclock my 4790k CPU on my Asus HERO VII motherboard within the next 7 days, ending February 14th at midnight!
THE PRIZES? A rare AMD Star Citizen digital download bundle that I have laying around from a contest that I will not use personally AND a full digital copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition! The AMD code gives you access to a rare AMD themed ship in Star Citizen as well as full access to the ARENA COMMANDER MODULE and the ORIGIN card gives you full copy of the newest Dragon Age via EA's origin!

And the second awesome prize!!
So how's that for a nice little reward for helping a noobie overclocker out?
