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

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
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
