Hey,
I am in the process of finishing my build, and now I want to take advantage of the built-in overclocking functions in both the i7 4770K CPU and my Gigabyte Z87X-OC motherboard - and RAM for that matter.
I have found a few articles on overclocking, yet they all seem extremely technical, and frankly a bit over my head. Like this one: http://www.overclock.net/t/1401976/the-gigabyte-z87-haswell-overclocking-oc-guide
Can someone tell me a (relatively) EASY way to overclock my hardware?
Is there a simple step-by-step guide?
I am not looking to do extreme on-the-edge OC, just want to get the most out of my system while still keeping it safe and stable.
• Anyone know of any good software for monitoring temperature, speed etc (other than the built-on BIOS manager)?
