Intel has advised that anything over 1.38v in the BIOS is risky. (over-clocking always carries risk) There is a lot of misinformation going around about the ability of these chips. BIG volts WILL KILL! Messing with the BCLK will result in corrupted data. It WILL screw your entire machine(Many a BSOD). Often necessitating a re-install. 1.65v RAM is ok but not optimal. (as long as it is within about 0.5v of your VTT) A nice overclock @ 4.7 GHz 1.36v. Not out of spec, nice temps and will last.
Hey thanks
@alatearrival
I was googling it myself and it was difficult to find the units of these numbers. My understanding is that these are imposed limits to reduce thermal degradation with stock coolers. With a better cooling set up, one could set these at higher limits and thus, more reliable overclocks. Good luck!
Great guide, thank you.
Can you tell us a bit more about the Turbo Boost Power Limits (manual 230, 200, 1) and Core Current Limit (230) please?
What are these settings for and how/why should we set them to the values you’ve indicated, e.g. I’m only wanting a 4.4Ghz overclock for now, should I vary these values?
If you’ve never installed an intel processor and motherboard, you’ll be quite frightened by the processor socket hinge and lock mechanism. Make sure it’s lined up correctly and push down the hinge and pull down the latch. It takes a lot of muscle but don’t be afraid. That was the only scary part. Have fun with the build, and take your time
I am getting the same motherboard and processor. I am installing it myself and I was wondering how that went for you.
How are the directions? Any advice?

Good job, you must have a very good chip. Try pushing it a bit further =).
Hi again i did it with 1.29vcore and is able to push it to 4.5GHz stable for 2 hours with prime95.
I’m gonna try to OC my PC with the help of this video… thank you in advance.
k, thx for the how to, you help me so much ;D
@rEAZERheaD89 Hyper 212+. I’m sure the Mugen2 will work as long as it has 775, 1156/1155 brackets. Asrock was very generous with the amount of cooler reaal estate.
Cooler? works with mugen 2?
