Hi Guys.

Now its getting tough and i would like help overcloking please.

I have this setup:

Intel i7-3770k 1155 socket
MSI Z77A-GD80 Motherboard
2 x MSU GTX 570 in SLi
16GB (4X4GB) 1866MHz RAM

Could someone please look at the above and inform me what i should do to get the most out of my system and why please?

I look forward to learing from you all

Update.

Used the OC genie and got 4.2 MHz out of the CPU.

Not bad but i think it can go better. Any thoughts?

You can go further as oc genie always set cpu voltage way more than you need. You can try to manually overclock it. Manual overclock is always the best as long as you know what to do it.

So if i turn the OC genie off, the voltage will drop?

Anyone know any good links to a good overclokcing guide?
