Heya!
So I received my Asus Maximus VII Formula and 4790k,
All installed well (pics to come shortly) after a little mishap with water getting onto the brand new motherboard (shit happens)
Anyhow, I'm not new to overclocking, but I am brand new to overclocking Intel, the last chip I overclocked from Intel was the Q9450 that had a FSB. My, how things have changed!
The wealth of options have on this board have somewhat blown me away. So many options!
Anyhow,
Here's what's what:
I have left everything default in terms of all the settings to do with overclocking, except I have disabled EIST and Turbo Boost and C States.
So the DigiVRM etc etc are all on auto, including LLC.
I set the multiplier to 46 to give my 4.6Ghz and I entered my XMP Profile for the RAM (I'll do this manual later)
I set the CPU Voltage to 1.2v and here's the stress testing screenshot.
Do my temps look good? and is my voltage good for that clock? and do I have headroom for more?
Also, do I.. or should I mess with other settings, or is auto okay for now?
