You could use an image upload site such as imgur and then BBtag your pic in.

Also it would be nice if you put your overclock settings in so people could see the rough numbers needed for an overclock like that.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Man, looking at all of this makes me super jealous. I tried OCing my 3570k, but I can't seem to get it past 4.2GHz no matter how hard I try.

He's using the Noctua NH-D14 HSF

He can handle upping to voltage to I'd say around ~H80i level.

Im using a Noctua NH-D14. I was able to upvolt to 1.4v and I still couldn't go higher than 4.2GHz. It was VERY unstable. Im currently just using OC Genie on my GD45

I know that autopilot overclocking is generally frowned upon but using it to get started is usually really helpful. Linus did a video on it. It usually overvolts so you can squeeze a little more out of what you're set at when you're done.
Despite seeing actual proof of it working before my eyes, I refuse to use it! I just cant trust it, i'd rather waste 3 days with no social contact upping the frequency 0.5Hz at a time.

I really have no idea what BCLK means... Hahah, base clock? If that's what it means then Im not sure.

The problem is overclocking is very personal, my CPU is my pride and joy because it overclocks like a beast, but someone with the very next CPU could only get to 4Ghz, settings dont really help because what one cpu likes, another may not. They're very fussy.

In CPU-Z it's called Bus Speed, it's right below multiplier.

I guess you just got one from a bad batch. It happens sometimes, my old 2600k couldn't get past 4.6GHz with 1.5v (the highest you could safely go without significant CPU degradation on SB), and I had spent so much time trying to watercool it. Keep researching because I'm sure somebody in the motherboards section can help you way better than I can.

I usually keep it at 4.8 Ghz, but I just loaded my 5Ghz OC profile. I've hit 5.1Ghz but I really don't like keeping my voltage so high.
