Overclocking a 4770K

[Worth]

Hey, so I built a new system a week or two ago(specs in sig) and hadn't overclocked my CPU yet. So, I decided I would see what the Asus AI Suite 4-way optimization did. It put my CPU at 4.4GHz with 1.265 volts; it averaged around 56.0C. Is my chip a good overclocker and should I put any more effort into my overclock or not?

This guide should help you http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/41234-intel-haswell-4670k-4770k-overclocking-guide/

Edit: You can push more in my opinion, read the guide and attempt 4.6-4.7Ghz overclock.

Dont use asus ai suite or whatever to OC, put your settings in the bios and be happy.

I think ive an average chip, it can boot and run a run some benchmarks at 1.25v at 4.6GHz but my poor H80 isnt up for the job lol

You're chip doesn't sound like a really great overclocker.  Probably middle of the road.  Dial in your own overclock though to see what it can really do.
