OC Genie on the MSI Z87 GD-65 Gaming Motherboard Questions?

[PtippyGaming]

Hey Everyone,

My name is Mark Findlay. I am new here but came to ask a few questions about my motherboard I have had since about July of 2014.
I have overclocked with motherboards many times before but was curious about the OC Genie option when I had installed the board and
was happy to find that it overclocked my CPU to 4.0Ghz with out a single BSOD ever and has been great with temps. Just around 22c-28c
with an H110 from Corsair.

Anyways, I would like to know if when using OC Genie, is 4.0Ghz all I can get from the Auto OC feature? I mean is it going through and finding what my CPU is capable of and setting it to the best speed and settings so it doesn't have stability issues? I would like to OC it more and I know I should just take the time and go through with a standard overclock but I would like to know if you can edit or change things that OC Genie at all?

Thank you and I hope someone out there can tell me for sure either way how to do it or that it is not possible!

MSI is the best by the way~!

Hello,

As far as I'm aware of, OC Genie is limited to those 4.0GHz (or 4.4GHz for i7 4790k), yet depending on the CPU you have( I guess you have 4670k?). So if you want anything further, you need to do it yourself.

On motherboard like Z97 MPower Max there is a little switch that increases OC Genie function's clocks even more, but not sure about GD65 (I doubt it has something like this)
