Getting an i7 - what do I need to change from my i5 overclock?

banjoted · 14 Oct 2013 at 20:53

Tomorrow I'll be swapping my i5 3570k for an i7 3770k. I have as AS Rock Extreme 4 mobo.

I was running my i5 at a 4.2ghz oc without upping the voltage, just a multiplier increase. When I first did it I used a guide to show me what settings to adjust for a stable oc.

Now I know obviously I want to reset the multiplier so I can start a fresh oc using Prime 95 and the like for the new CPU but am I right in saying the other settings I've changed will be equally as applicable for an i7 as they were an i5?

I only asked because I changed a load of settings that I didn't really understand and I'd have to hunt out a new guide if I needed to do it again. Plus the oc has been rock solid so whatever I did worked well!

Thanks folks

Don't change anything,just stress new CPU and see what load CPU voltage is in CPU-z and load temps in realtemp

Pardon?

I meant don't change anything,you current oc/settings should work for your new chip

I have the P67 board, and followed the below guide which got me to 4.7Ghz on my 2700k with ease.
