Beginner Overclocker Help

[Arshdeep]

Hello fellow overclockers ^-^

 

So, it seems I want to get my hands dirty in overclocking . Problem is that I have not overclocked my cpu, yet, well not much, anyway.

 

Best way to overclock, without the option of OC Genie or Offset Voltage Available. My mobo (bios 17.2) does not support voltage offset, only vdroop (+12.7%, +28% and such).

I am hoping for a simple 4.2 - 4.4 ghz Overclock. 

 

Here are my specs:

3570K

MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming

Soon, (Coolermaster) Hyper Evo

you could probably do 4.2ghz on stock voltage. give it a go and see if it works.

Will try. What about 4.4 in your opinion. I understand every chip is different, but a 5ghz on your part may just mean you know overclocking better than me. Plus, my Hyper Evo has not arrived yet.

4.4GHz on that cooler sounds a bit ambitious, but perhaps a 4.3GHz overclock can be easily achieved.

yes you can try ocing on the stock cooler just to get used to the bios but don't use anymore than stock voltage and if the temps go over 80c under full load knock it back down. vdroop is different to core voltage or offset, its mainly for higher overclocks normally when you lose voltage throw the power delivery. you can try 4.4ghz on stock voltage, but i would think it would be unlikely although you shouldn't need much more voltage to get to it. all this is very dependent on your chip though so you won't know until you try. i can only guestimate base on what my mates 3570k will do, but that is a fairly good chip. mine does 5ghz because its sandybridge and my motherboard is very stable and has a 14+2 power phase, whereas your will have a 6+1 power phase, this will be more than adequate for 4.2-4.4ghz though.

I alredy did try it on the stock cooler, 4.4ghz, I only touched XMP and multiplier to 44x. Found around 1.1v or less, with cpu-z that is. How does that sound. I know it is good (?!), but does it sound believable?

Thanks, I believe some have done it before. Fingers crossed for a mighty die!

1.1v sounds very low for 4.4ghz, did you do any stability testing? And what temps did you get.
