Hello guys,
I just want a bit of advice on overclocking my system for better performance while gaming etc. I play alot of Flight Simulator and want to know if i can increase performance, FPS etc. I have watched a few OC vids but after trying it myself the system either crashes, freezes, sometimes does not boot/restart at all so i've stopped and thought to query with the pro's. With my ASUS mobo it allows me to auto tune/OC which takes the CPU to 4635 with a 103.00 base clock but keeps the voltage settings as 1.456 and AUTO. I have read that you shouldn't go higher than 1.450 with voltage and i've also read that my system components should be able to achieve great things. I have seen youtubers achieve 4.8GHz with a similar CPU and GPU to mine. Please let me know any guides, suggestions considering my specs.
Thank you
My PC specs is as follows:
Windows 10
Intel i7 6700K Skylake @ 4.00GHz
Asus Maximus Extreme VIII mobo
MSI GTX 980 TI
16GB RAM @ 3000MHz
Corsair H110 GTX Water cooling
