What's in there? What are the options?
That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure before I messed with it and my new computer burnt the house down. Wouldn't care about the house but I would be pissed if the new rig went up in flames.

You want to check what options you have.Then look for the one it said custom settings and go from there.And is always a good idea take pics of the stock settings just in case you change something.And try to always remember what you change.
You can take a look in here too.To test the overclocking for the boards, I started off pushing the multiplier up a little at a time until I hit at wall and could no longer boot. Then I would switch over to the BUS speed and slowly increase it up until again the computer would not boot. Once I reached a comfortable number for the multiplier and the BUS speed, the overclocked settings were dialed in and set for the testing. The 790X board clocked a bit higher than the 770 board, while the 785G boards came in last. The average clock speed was 3.8GHz between all four of the boards when overclocked.http://www.overclockersclub.com/revi..._roundup/4.htm

Where it says CPU Voltage Control [NORMAL] I bet you can change it to Manual, thus un-graying the next line.

Well, there is a System Voltage Control setting at the top that allows to be changed from Auto to Manual. Then I can go into CPU Voltage control and when I hit enter this window pops up and allows me to change voltage in increments of .025 volts. If that is where I want to be would I just add the increase I selected to the base 1.325 and that would be the new vcore value?

Yeah, not sure how high I would be willing to push it. I know that my multiplier is at 15.5 now and I am stable at 3.1GHz but at 16 it is not stable.

So should I just go one notch at a time or can I start a little higher, say at +.050 or .075? My goal is to get to 3.5GHz or 3.6GHz. Multiplier of 16 will get me to 3.4 but like I said, it is not stable.

Increase the speed by 5 then keep lowering until you can go no more. I think 10-20 is a bit too much.
