1.3 volts, 40.5 or 41 multiplier... it's pretty darn easy, go for 4.4, at least then it's more than a 10% increase. (it's just about as easy as a google search, overclock.net has a very detailed guide if you wanted to tweek more but yeah, it's super easy.)

http://www.overclockers.com/3step-guide-to-overclock-intel-haswell and a motherboard review should do ya just fine.

Hi guys,

Thanks for you tips and help!
I managed to get 4,4 Ghz on my all 3 slave render machines. They are working perfectly fine for last few days
