Just got a haswell 4690 with asus z97 a board kingston 16g 1600 ram. Where is a good guide on OCing ? Not familar with asus bios or these news cpu/boards

Thanks!
 
hmm..JJ..
Ok Asus site is down with the Raja or JJ guide :/
http://www.overclockers.com/3step-guide-to-overclock-intel-haswell

JJ here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pilo1E6kXQ

And..there might be some giga/msi boards thrown in here...

Might as well stay away from the Sin guides cuz..dat's Giga :D

DJ should write one..He knows all the ins and outs of Hashwell.

Here's what I'd do since you're probably on air/water.

1) Set your RAMS right..proper voltage,proper timings..test all that..Don't be afraid to see how high your RAM goes :D
If nothing else,slop it up and see how high it goes and then work from there :)
2) Set input (VCCIO) on Asus I think V to 1.92
3) Set Cache/Ring voltage to 1.31
4) Set all IOA/ANALOG/Digital stuff to 1.16-1.26-ish..then move the digital down a click

start playing with your multi..keeping ring the same..
when it starts messing up..try lowering the Ring 1st ;) It can go to 3 notches lower than core.

Thanks for the reply Can I just use the Asus software to overclock? What is a safe voltage to keep the CPU @ 24/7? Im running an corsair h100i for cooling. I ran the 5 way opt from asus software & it went up to 4.7 before it crashed. Then it went to 4.5 and pressed ok but in windows it doesnt show its 4.5.

Is 5 way optimtization pretty on spot with OCing? Temps at idle are 29-35 & voltage looks to be about 1.25 @ adaptive setting
