Hi all,
I have had some great success overclocking in the past with my last overclock being a Q9450 on a Nforce 790i Motherboard clocked at 3.5Ghz, sitting there happily for many years no problem.
Since then things have moved on and i recently purchased the following.
MSI Z77 MPower Intel Z77
Intel Core i5-3570K
Corsair H100
Corsair Vengeance Performance Memory 16GB
CM Storm Stryker
Now i am having huge issues trying to get a manual overclock from this thing.
I can get the automatic OC Genie from the motherboard which pushes the chip to 4.2ghz but also increases the voltage to 1.2v, which is a little to hot to me.
I have tried to manually set the clock to 4.2ghz @ 1.18 and 1.19 but i get errors during a OCCT burn test but i have only changed the Vcore voltage and chip multiplier to 42 and turned sidestep off, i haven't played with any settings as i am having a few issues understanding all the new options and layout of the UEFI.
So i was wondering if anyone has experience overclocking this chip on this board and can provide me with some help or a good starting place with some basic settings from where i can tweak the overclock to suit.
