3570k overclock

[vinksu93]

hi ihave intel 3570k cpu with msi z77a-gd65 gaming mobo and antec kuhler 620

i was wondering if i should overclock it now or should i wait for better cooler thanks

Oc now!

go for it.

Some people OC with the stock cooler, just see what you can get to, the later when you have the better cooler, increase the OC.

I'd say 4.6GHz would be a nice 24/7 overclock for you. I've managed 4.7GHz with the same chip but am running on a Hyper 212 EVO cooler so it's just not practical.

im bit worried about temps i dont want to run it like 80C

and im pretty new to this overclocking thing so im not sure how to set things up

Just go into the BIOS and set the Vcore to what ever it's saying there, just not to auto. Should be around 1.2V and then set the multiplier to 40 to begin. Don't play around with the base clock because that ends in instability and it's not really worth it. Then try to boot your OS, but that should work! To test the stability I use prime95 but you can use OCCT or what ever you want to use. Watch your temps though! I wouldn't go about 70°C, intel guarantees for 68°C or something, but 2° more or less isn't the world and also 80°C for 20mins won't kill your CPU but staying below 70°C will be safe! If you're OC is stable go into the BIOS and increase the clockspeed and voltage if needed. But watch your temps every time you're running the stability test.

 

What helped me getting lower temps was lowering the PLL voltage from I think it was 1.700V or so to 1.550V. Didn't effect stability at all for me. If your system should boot anymore and you can't enter the bios clear the CMOS. Your mobo manual helps your figuring out how to do that Have fun!

 

Edit: Always try to run the lowest voltage possible because voltage results in temperature!

thanks that helped a lot
