Hi guys, I decided to try my first overclock today with an i5 3570k and a hyper 212 evo. I was planning to start with a simple 4 ghz as I assumed that I wouldn't have to increase the voltage (which i'm scared to do) to achieve it. I've heard that the first thing to do is disable the intel turbo boost clock, which I did. But then after i've disabled it, when I go to set my ratio to "all cores" it enables it again and it refuses to let me disable the turbo boost again. I really hate this turbo boost because it seemed to like to jump between 1600-3600mhz before, even when i'm playing games. But anyway, I'm pretty sure that i am supposed to disable it, but it dosen't let me disable it after i've set the ratio to all cores and set it to 4ghz. How would I go about fixing this? Btw, I have an asrock z77 extreme 4 mobo, ( just in case any of you may know your way around this ones bios) Thanks in advance :)

You need to disable Intel turbo boost as well as C1E, Intel SpeedStep C3 State, C6 State, Package C state Support and spread spectrum to make sure any OC will be stable (most of these feature are power saving features that can cause instability when Oced)

Then set the cpu ratio (not the boost ratio as you'd try to do) to 40 and fix the voltage to your stock VID (as in many case it'll raise with the overclock if set on auto)

i don't know Asrock BIOS but all the features should be in advance CPU features and/or power savings features...
