Long story short, I got a i7-4790k coming in and I wish to know how does overclocking it work since i hear it is very different from the time i overclock my 2500k from in 2011. From what I understand 4790k have a base clock of 4.0ghz and when it go turbo mode it go to 4.2-4.4. I find it a little confusing since for my 2500k I just set mt stepping to 44 and it go 4.4 ghz all the time. I intend to reuse my Corsair A70.

That's about it. You fiddle with VCore and multliplier until you find a stable OC that fits your needs. On most if not all motherboards the base clock is 100 and it
does not like to change.
Honestly I run two computers with 4790K CPUs on ASUS ROG motherboards and the overclock took about 3o minutes of adjustments.
Both my CPUs are watercooled and run at 4.4 GHz, rock solid.
