Just installed a xigmatech dark night with dual fans so hoping to overclock this chip

looking around i see most people are oc'ing it to 4.5, I have a z77-d3h board

anyone guide me through this? thanks

Well on my 3770k i did this:
45x100
1.30V
and was stable
so I started to decrease the voltage by 0.01... until it got unstable.

can also try
cpu vcore voltage response to fast,
phase control to extreme
cpu voltage to normal
dvid(offset) to +0.020v
llc loadline calibration set to high

then stress the cpu in windows and see what load cpu voltage is and adjust if need be by lowering/increasing dvid

I changed my multiplier till it reached 4.50ghz and ran prime 95 for half hour, max temps on a blend test were 92c, is that bad?

Well, mine tops at 75C the hottest core, with my case open (closed it tops 78C)
I'm using an Corsair A70 air cooler plus mx-4 thermal paste and my room temperature is around 20C.

92C still under the 105C that will make your cpu slow down.

But in my opnion I would like max 85C on prime95.

Yes 92 is bad..

People have different ideas of safe temps but I like to keep mine below 70-75, I think that is fair.

What vcore did CPU-Z display?
