Hello guys, im "new" here and hope some of you guys can help me to overclocking my intel i7 4790k. I bought a rig on december a year ago and i dont unterstand how to make my oc stable. I got an oc profile. But after updating my bios , it gone away (yes now i know that this is every time the case, but for 1 year i didnt know that). I contacted the company but they said just : sent it back to us, and we will oc it again. No more information or whatever. In the past i sended it to them but with an other reason and had to wait 2 months, you guys know what i want to say ? This is why i hope to find someone here that can help me. My Rig is : Asus Maximus Vii Hero, INTEL i7 4790k, Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 16gb Ram (9/10/9/27-2n), MSI Nvidia Geforce Gtx 980, Corsair H100i , Corsair Rm 550watt psu. At Stock i have a vid of 1.088v, but i know that i had a multiplier of 48 with around 1,335 or 1,350 vcore, but i no more know if it was cache ratio of 40/42 or 44... And in the past i had 1600ram (8gb), i replaced it with the vengeance pro ones. I red alot threads about llc, asus multicore enhancement etc but i dont know In which scenario i have to adjust the tdp limit (higher) .. Ye i know if its throttling. But what settings are important ? I try my best to answer all of you guys questions. Its not my mother tongue, so sorry for most of the mistakes.

The only thing you really need to fool with for your 4.8Ghz overclock is the cpu core voltage, if you got that stable then you can start working on getting the ram stable and it shouldn't take much.
