Hi there, guys! It's me again! I am having a little trouble understanding some of the overclock settings in the Bios/UEFI! I know how to use the multiplier due to the fact that I know that it is multiplied by the base clock (100Mhz); but some other features of the board, in terms of overclocking, are a little difficult for me to understand! For example, I know that in order for you to save power consumption (also reducing CPU temperatures), you have to alter the VCore and the Voltage Offset! I have done some research on motherboards (this one, in particular)! I know that all motherboards are different; but it would really help me out, if you guys could guide on overclocking my Intel Core i7-4790k on this motherboard! I just need to know how to perform an overclock setting (only in terms of the VCore, Voltage Offset, and any other features and settings that would help reduce power consumption and the amount of heat that my CPU undergoes)! Right now, I am keeping my CPU at 4.0Ghz! I may need to apply new thermal paste, as well; due to the fact that my processor peaked at 53 degrees celsius idle (I have to turn my CPU cooler's fans around because I installed them in the wrong direction)! Thank you all for your help, and you guys have a nice day!

These are the settings i've made adjustments too

Here is the OC guide I used for my 4790k. I have my Ring Bus locked at 40, my CPU multiplier at 47 with voltage at 1.350: http://www.overclock.net/t/1411077/haswell-overclocking-guide-with-statistics

Thank you, OMG3X! I really appreciate it! What settings would you suggest for a base clock of 4.0Ghz?! My temperatures are insanely high for idle! 53 C! That is unacceptable! Also, what is the significance/difference between each of the voltages above?! Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you so much for your help, once again, Zuhl3156! I really appreciate it! What settings would you suggest for a base clock of 4.0Ghz?! My CPU temperature is unacceptable (53 C)!

53C idle temp ? What Cooler you using for the CPU ?

I am using the Cryorig R1 Universal! It is a wonderful air cooler that rivals the Noctua NH-D15 air cooler! I really want this to work! Do you have any suggestions?!

Do you have Speed Step enabled so the CPU throttles down when not in use or do you have it 'locked' at 4.0 GHz?

Some people like to use an adaptive voltage for their Vcore, but I always recommend using a fixed voltage instead of an Adaptive or Offset as both can result in Vcore spikes under heavy loads, especially benchmarks.
