Planetside 2. 1920x1080

I've now OC'd my 4690k to 4.4ghz, I also boosted my GPU up a bit, but max power I can get out of my 780ti is about 55-56%. I believe this is caused by a CPU bottleneck... At 4.4ghz, should a 4690k really be bottlenecking a 780ti to half its potential? Could it be something else going on? Thanks FYI: this was noticed while playing a game System Specs: Processor: Intel i5-4690k Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 BIOS: American Megatrends Graphics: nVidia 780Ti 3gb RAM: 8GB OS: Win 8.1 Pro Power Supply: 750w

Thanks guys! I got it up to 4.4ghz, and I haven't pushed it any further. I kept the cache clock at the default 3.9, pushed the voltage to 1.2 and bam it works perfectly, max temp at 59c

Are these BIOS settings? I'm not seeing override mode in XTU

Thanks! I have not tried raising the core frequency only, that'll be my next test here. Since I can run 4.2ghz core & cache at default core voltage, should I just try raising to 4.3ghz core and leave the voltage at default? I know it's trial & error but I'd rather have less errors haha. Also I've heard people talk about disabling boost mode as it can be harmful. True/false? I would imagine if it's set higher than your rig can handle that will be problematic.. however it's currently set @ default.

Hey everybody, noob overclocker here, however I'm no stranger to computers. I built my rig a year ago and am deciding it's time to give it some more juice. i5-4690k w/Z97x Gaming 7 mobo using XTU: I understand that to raise the core/cache clock past a certain point, you need to up the core voltage. My CPU is stable at 4.2ghz with default/stock voltage settings, so I figured it's alright to leave it there. Temps are excellent under full CPU load with all cores enabled at around 49-52°C. I've tried pushing it to 4.3ghz with the core voltage at +1.2v and it crashes. I have not messed around with any BIOS settings as I've read many mixed posts on what people think is best to do in there. I'd like to think I have a decent rig as I invested quite a bit into it, and I know this CPU can push past 4.2 so I don't know where I'm going wrong. Any help appreciated!

I was watching the beginner starting videos and I can't find the hardware analyze button anywhere at all. Can someone point me in the direction so I can find a good profile to pair up with my rig? Thanks
