4770k overclocking compared to 2500k?

[RichH]

Hey Guys,

I've just ordered a 4770k and new mobo.

Is there anything I need to know about overclocking? I'm coming from a 2500k that was capable of 5ghz.

Thanks in advance for any help .

Same things as before, Core clock is king. Forget about cache.

Also you can stabilize the OC using other voltages than just Vcore, see here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1401976/the-gigabyte-z87-haswell-overclocking-oc-guide

Good luck.

Thanks a lot.

I'm building now, then have to build old parts into new work pc.

Should get round to the OC by the end of the week.
