Hi folks

got myself a Bitfenix Prodigy case to put some old components into (so I can get rid of the old larger case) and of course a mobo to go with it. I've recently upgraded my older system so that means I have a 4770k cpu and 16gb of 1866mhz ram. The mobo I'm getting is the MSI Z97M Gaming Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX. What I'm hoping for is a wee bit of help from the more experienced types out there that can help me - and yes, I'm a complete oc'ing newbie...never done it before...to get a decent little overclock set up for it once I out it all together. I've never been one on pushing overclocks that far so really I'm hoping I can get a little one setup. I think in my old system it was running at something like 4.4ghz or there abouts...can anyone help me out with possible settings I'd need to change in the bios for this, please?
 
Perhaps a little confusion on the subject / Topic title of this thread?
1. This is not an ATX Board
2. This case is for M-ITX
3. try changing it to something like "Hints for clocking my new system?"

I believe the Prodigy comes in m-ATX and mITX variants :)
 
I am hoping to use the H80i - have had good experience with the Corsair brand in the past so was going to go with that, unless there's another alternative that can be recommended. I'm not looking for anything amazing with this issue...just something that can make it worth it. If it can be done to something like 4.2 or 4.3 ghz I would be very happy :)
 
Spoke to someone on the OCUK phone line today who suggested I could just tweak the multiplier (cpu multiplier?) and get a decent little overclock...anyone got any thoughts?
