4770 (non K) and overclocking

[Panos]

Good morning,

I won on a lottery at work a 4770 (non K) from a dismantled XPS. (cpu only)

I wonder how far can be pushed above the 3.9Ghz of the Turbo boost, by raising the bus clocks only. (I know multiplier is locked).

Had anyone any success with some specific Z motherboard?

I have the 4820K, but just thinking if I manage to get 4.2-4.3 from the 4770 to replace it.

Cheers

average 104-106 BCLK. With Maximus VI Extreme you can hit around 110 bclk.

How about using the MSI Gaming 7 Z97? Will it not be able to get at least to 110-116?

 

[FlanK3r]

no, this is not special OC board as M6E, real value will be around 105-106 MHz bclk.

I doubt it.

First of all M6E is previous gen so no go.

Second Z97 Gaming 7 is as good on Overclocking as the VII Ranger or Hero according to the reviews. Idk where you get that opinion.

M6E is previsou board, but the best OC baord for Haswell with support i7-4790K, 4690K and Pentium G3258 ,-). Look into the BIOS settings of M6E, its awesome for tweaking and few of them help with BCLK OC

But of course for casual OC and average users are Maximus Ranger or MSI Gaming 7 still OK

With Sandy and Ivy non K you could overclock the turbo by 4 extra bins as Intel call them.

Try changing the turbo multi.

You cant on Haswell, unless you mod the bios with an older cpu microcode
I think it was 0306.
