I have a ivy bridge i7 3770k cpu @3.5ghz with asus p8z77-v pro motherboard. I want to OC it to 4.5ghz but i dnt have any experience and i dont want to mess with it. I need some1 to guide me into modifying the bios values in a safe and stable way to get 4.5ghz. Please dnt post any link to any guides because i have read most of them and they are confusing and complicating. Any help will be really appreciated.

there is too much to describe here, so here's a specific article for your CPU
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/279408-29-bridge-overclocking-guide-3770k
Basically, turn up the multiplier. A multiplier of 35 with a 100% ratio means 3.5GHz. IF the vcore voltage is on auto, then changing multiplier to 45 with 100% ratio means 4.5GHz.
Reading how, what, and why about OC'ing prevents you from frying ur CPU and motherboard. So, if you make a mistake and fry ur parts by OC'ing them unresponsibly, you will lose all waranties and be out the cost of the parts, and you won't get anyone's pitty... But to give you what you asked, i posted what i did.

Why would you change mobos? Nothing wrong with what you have if it provides the connectivity you need.
What CPU cooler are you using?
Keep in mind that you may not get 4.5 no matter what you do, or you might get more - it just depends on how your particular chip fares.

4.2 seems like the most common number to hit, more than that and you just are playing the chip lottery. you'll need a good cooler regardless.

Yeah, I was REALLY hoping for 4.8GHz on my chip, but it's just not stable any higher than 4.6GHz. Even though I have temperature headroom...

what CPU cooler model? If we know that, we can better say how well it performs and guess at where you might hit ur thermal boundaries

That is maybe the worst investment I've ever heard of unless you have other requirements you haven't mentioned (like you want to go from two-way to four-way SLI).
You *might* get another couple of hundred MHz out of it for the price of $400. Terrible, terrible return on your money. I got to 4.4 on cheap air with my middle-of-the-road motherboard ($140) completely stable without tweaking voltage so might have been able to get a little more. If you did manage to get 4.8, you're spending 100% more than you already have for a 9.5% difference that you're not going to be able to perceive except shaving a few seconds off a transcode if you even are looking to do that.
Take a look at this if you need further proof that the expensive mobos don't really deliver big gains:

That motherboard. Unless you have a specific need for a $400 mobo with a PLX chip because you're running four high end GPUs, it's just waste.
Edit: Stick with the p8z77-v pro - it's still more than I would pay but is a very solid, well-recommended board.
