Overclocking SABERTOOTH Z77 with IvyBridge 3770K

mrix · 1 May 2012 at 18:36

Hello all, received my Ivybridge 3770K Processor and Sabertooth Z77 today along with a H100 cooler!

I am now looking around the net to find out a few overclock settings

]
If anyone has a similar setup and already attempted a overclock and been successful could you please post some settings, I can understand each processor will be different but I just need the basics to work with etc as this bios is a little different to what I am used to.
Thanks all

Glad it out the way though!

Look forward to reading your results!

I have a i2550k @ 4.6ghz, though I think it crashed at some point overnight on Prime95. Will have a further look at overclocking it tonight.

That's on air with a Gelid Tranquillo, hitting 81c

Hey guys... got my sabertooth today but the box wasn't sealed. :mad:

Can any of you confirm if yours arrived sealed ?

Cheers

Hello all, having spent a few hours surfing the net for various settings for an overclock I come up with this 4.5ghz overclock....

You got to love that bios screenshot addition :cool:

No huge long bench test but run linx for 45 minutes, temps do peak fairly high but that`s normal for these chips but in normal stress situations
like playing Battlefield 3 my temps are only 55c to 65c

If anyone can notice anything that can be tweaked that could help stability / temps etc please post away!

re:

Just a heads up on reading a little more into these ivy bridge chips it appears its not recommended to use stress testers like linx, intelburn or prime92 as it can damage the chip :confused:

Cheers all

mrix, thanks a lot for this thead. My settings:

BCLK 100
CPU voltage 1.175 (45 ratio)
VCCSA 0.925
CPU PLL 1.8
PCH 1.05

What I did was go into the bios and do the auto overclock thingy, and it took it up to 4.2. I then just played with the voltages on the CPU and multiplier, and happy with 4.5. Considering to remove the TIC though. Have you also thought about it?
