Ok so its my first time overclocking and want to check if everythings ok so can you guys check these values on occt, are the voltages correct?

i have a z77a-gd65 motherboard and to overclock the only thing i adjusted on the oc genie 2 menu was instead of a defualt overclocked i changed it to customised and changed the cpu ratio to 44 so 44 x 100mhz, 4.4ghz

everything else is on auto and oc genie adjusts everything else. i also turned of intel turbo boost.

Hi karan538.

push it up mate, get it up to 4.6-4.7 and watch the temps on the cores under stress, intel say to try and keep away from 105c degrees, so basically that means if you want the lifespan of the cpu to last longer then keep well away from the 100 or even 90s.
If you can get the temps to 70's or into the 80's during a stress test as far as I know that is perfectly fine, so why not go for it then ? I have.

its up to you though.

the 3770k has a overheat trip switch built in but that doesnt kick in till 130c, to me thats too high, but at the same time, is that intel trying to tell us that getting close to 100c degrees is actually ok and just scaring us off clocking the heck out of these things, who knows ??? makes ya wonder though doesnt it ? ;)
