How much should I overclock?

[capta1n_beans]

I am slightly new to the whole overclocking thing and have a fair bit to learn (NOOB) and have no idea on how much I should overclock or even where in the bios to do it. My processor is a 4770K and it has an h80i for cooling. I know it is a good processor for overclocking and the coolier is adequate to handle the heat. (and yes i DID use Comic Sans) Thanks!

As much as you can.... Nice font.... LOL

[WoodenMarker]

Oc as much as you can with it being reasonably cool and stable with as low of a voltage as possible.

With a h80i on haswell socket 1150 you won't get far.

Just remember you could be the best OCer in the world and still only get 4.4ghz (example). It depends on the silicon lottery as they call it. you could get a good chip or a dud.

Just give it a go and see what happens. Just get familiar with either clearing,resetting and switching bios's. dual bios saved my bacon more than once.

start it at like 4.5 Ghz and keep turning up the wattage until it stabalizes, if it stabalizes, and then trying uping it from there.

[Umeshwarnath]

in the decreasing order

1. as much as you can......! juice out every last bit of performance as possible!

2.or just as much as you want ,provided you want less than max oc possible on the chip....

When it goes bang, fiz, pop just dial it back a little until it stops smoking.

He should be able to reach 4,4-4,5 without a huge problem. My friend @The Great Sayain Man and i oced his 4770k to 5.0 ghz.

So then he is in the lucky 10% of people who can a ctually OC it that high

He kind of has a 1300€ custom loop tho.

Using an h80i  i doubt it

[Panda of the Shadow]

No they 5 ghz was on a custom 1300€ loop. With the H80i 4,4 or 4,5 should be fine.

you might not have, at first i thought i got a bad chip as i couldn't get past 4.2ghz and be stable but i did some research found out what all the other settings did and now I'm running at 4.6ghz. You have to be really patient when overclocking as there are a ton of tiny tweaks that can make a big difference in the long run.
