As long as you have a good enough cooling setup you are almost always at the 4.4 turbo... so most people never even need to overclock with this cpu

Alright lets try this again (fingers crossed)

ffs invalid windows

Well, @SoulFallen @Fouquin

its stable now, XTU got it to 65C at stock and nothing fucked up

I'll play with it when I get home from linux class

alright @SoulFallen @Fouquin where do I start

just turn up the ratio and see where that goes?

well putting the ratio to 44 works so far floating aroung 70C

failed occt at 2m 33s

alright with XTU temp is stabilizing at 80C, mind you this is on an h80i so if its safe now it'll get better later with h105

I'm gonna give ratio another bump. trying 46

Cool build!
Asrock Z97M OC Formula is definitely a very nice board for the money.

About blue coloring the mobo:
Well thats ofc a matter of personal taste.
But i personaly realy like the epic black yellow theme of it.
There arent that much epic black yellow theme´d builds.

I mean I can still do it, I know blue is one of the most done themes. maybe
