I have a
i5 4670k CPU
ASus maximus hero MOBO
750 hx PSU
samsung 840 evo 500gb SSD
corsair xms3 4x(2gb sticks) RAM
Sapphire Radeon hd 6850 GPU

I am planning to overclock, but I have been getting mixed reviews on Manuel o/c or Auto o/c

Auto would be using Asus AI suite 3

Manual- I have no experience with this and according to other forums I need to adjust more than just the base clock and vcore voltage on this Haswell CPU

Any suggestions on which route to go? Any experience with Asus AI SUITE 3?

Ai suite just lets you do the same things you have to do in the BIOS through windows. So you should use BIOS, it won't give you as many problems.

There is also automatic "CPU level up" option in the BIOS. In general it sets too high voltages and often doesn't give a stable overclock in my experience.

Manually in the BIOS.
