Asus 4 Way Optimization

[Tw1stedDNA]

Hey guys, I recently bought a ASUS Z87-WS Motherboard. I used the 4 way optimization utility for overclocking. It overclocked my i7 4770K to 4.7GHz.

Now I plan on formatting the PC. Will I lose my overclock settings?
If I reinstall the software again after formatting, will it show up the same settings (including the custom names I gave the fans in Fan Xpert 2 along with the fan profiles)?

Has anyone tried this yet?

Even if you do lose your settings, just run 4 way optimization again. Great OC for using 4 way optimization, I would only get 4.4GHz on mine. I would use that as a starting point and then set it yourself in the bios. You will easily hit 4.8 with probably a lower voltage. I noticed when running their settings the voltage was higher than I used setting it manually. Very easy to do and only takes a few minutes and some back and forth until its stable.

Oh lordy not software based overclocking D:. nononononononononononono. The voltage will be waaay to high. Chances are if the program can get 4.7ghz on probably too many volts you can do better

please don't use any overclocking tools unless you want your chip to get roasted. do it the proper way.
