i7-2600k overclocking help

[Death6199]

first off i know its a 10 year old cpu but its still a gem to me. im rocking it on asus sabertooth z77 board and use there optimize clock. which gives me 4.39 ghz and max temp is 73c and thats at 100 percent usage. so i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or a guide on overclocking it higher. i know next to nothing about overclocking but i can feel like i can get some more power out of it

Max 1.42V if you can keep it cool (around 70C say). Not much else to talk about really

This is still one of the best overclocking guides ever made, IMO. Recommended settings / breakdown / specifics, begin in the second post:

As long as you haven't had any severe CPU degradation, typically 1.3-1.35v (VCORE) is generally good enough for a 4.5-4.6GHz overclock (on average). Then, after looking through the above guide, you will see other settings to be able to use (to fine tune the overclock much further, beyond only the VCORE). 

 

Hope this helps!
