Hi everybody,
First, I would like to say that I am very new to overclocking. I built my first computer like 3 months ago so I am still learning . The details of my computer setup are below.
I know there are many topic and videos online talking about this and I watched some of them but still I am a bit confused..
I would like to overclock my i7-3770k to a safe frequency, I am thinking of 4.5Ghz max for now.
I already changed my bios according to some videos I found and right now my CPU is at 4.4 Ghz with a voltage (manual) of 1.150V and speedstep "on". It is stable (checked with intelBurnTest) and on full load (using prime95) i get around 80-85°C, so I think it is ok? I don't want to go over 90°C.
The thing is that I would like to use an offset to overclock instead of a manual and fix voltage (apparently it is better so that the voltage changes according to the frequency of the CPU that can be low due to Intel Speedtest). But I don't know how to use it, if somebody can explain to me?
Also, I don't exactly know all the parameters to tweak in the BIOS.. For now I modified my bios according to this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBTvu1QQzdU and it's seems to work but I would like to understand more about the common parameters to change and why (PLL, etc.) if possible
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards.
