Hi my new setup is coming Monday, and I would like some pointers towards a simple I[f there is such a thing] overclock with an i7 4790k on a Gigabyte gaming 7 motherboard. Memory is 8gb Corsair Vengence 1600mhz [2x4gb]
EVGA 850w power supply, Prolimatech Megahalems cooler.
4.5 or 4.6 at most would be good not looking to break any records

simples

if your only after 4.5-4.6 just set your memory to XMP profile
and change multi to 103x45 or 46, then set your vcore @1.224v or 1.245v depending on cooling you should be set at those.
also set your vdroop/llc ect @ maximum as to get no vcore drooping.
also set vrin @1.950v then set uncore speed @43-4.6 for 1/1 just remember to keep stuff cool if it gets to hot back off. im using extreme water cooling on my setup so keep a eye on temps if your not.
