There are great tutorials and walkthroughs out on the internet, but for CPU overclocking it comes down to changing the multiplier and Core Voltage (at least on Intel processors, I have not used an amd one). While I don’t know about those presets, imo it is better if you know what exactly you are changing and how you can correct those settings if something does not go the way it should. It was really unstable, when I did it manually I had to increase the voltage quite some notches to get a stable 4.2GHz OC.

One example: I used Asus AI Suite (Windows) “one-click-auto-oc-tuner” and it got me to around 4.2GHz without increasing the Voltage. I had it crash after 15h once.įor overclocking, I learned it via the BIOS and if you can believe those at it is safer/more efficient to do it manually.

Note: Please make sure your processor is supported before. You should run it for a long period of time (20h+) to see if your overclock was too high. When I try to download XTU from intel and run it I get this error immediately after startup: 'One or more issues caused the setup to fail.
