Been reading a lot about people saying over clock CPUs over 4ghz to get better performance with games I have a i5 3570k never been touched always sat and stock speeds curious what safe levels I can go to and how to accomplish this one very kind member gave me 3D mark in a give away so I thought I have that there to help me test the PC under load etc.
 
yours will be the same regarding voltages

and you can enable xmp profile to setup the ram for you,but still manually set cpu/vtt voltage from stock 1.05v to 1.10v with 16gb of memory

all gigabyte z77 boards are basically the same regarding overclocking
 
ok just set

pci/cpu clock to 100
cpu multi to 45x
cpu voltage to normal
llc loadline calibration to medium
dvid to +0.020v
pwm phase control to extreme performance
vcore voltage response to fast
cpu/vtt voltage to 1.10v
enable xmp for your memory and that should be it
 
thanks matey, one question what is the temp i should make sure it stays at idle and under load i find ivy is hotter than when i had my i3 1156
 
for me I stay below 1.4v for cpu and below 80c on core temps if you can,although 80-85c is ok too

if its too hot simply lower the overclock 4.4ghz ect
 
if I find temps too high would lowering the clock speed to something like 4 or 4.2 better etc really apreciate your help buddy.
 
had trouble finding some of them settings it said in it and now my pc feels like it is stuttering in places, really dont know why i got this cpu knowing jack about overclocking :(
 
Have a look on youtube for tiny tom logans guide to 1155 overclocking, he gives a good overview of the basics and where to start from and how to check if its stable before moving on, also showing the setting in the BIOS that you need to be looking at, and certain things to avoid doing. It's a pretty good guide and doesn't just tell you what to do he actually shows it as well, as playing around in BIOS for the first time can be a bit strange.
