So - sorry to drag you all into the past, but just need a bit of advice...

I have a 4690K on a Gigabyte Z97X-SLI board. Historically I'd used the Gigabyte app to overclock the CPU but I've had to uninstall that app as for some reason it conflicted with the Radeon control panel. So - I'll now need to do this 'by hand'. I don't want to set the world (or my PC) on fire with massive increases - so is the following an acceptable and safe approach as a starter for 10....?
1. Set CPU clock ratio to 40
2. Turn off Turbo Boost
3. Set vCore to 1.2V
and then see how warm/stable things are and increase from there?
