What can I expect from my 3770k under water?

UnexceptionalJew · Aug 28, 2013

So ive got my 3770k watercooled yet and I havent done any overclocking. Ive also got a ASUS Sabertooth z77. Can I expect a overclock around 4.8Ghz while still keeping my temps good? Also are there any programs I should use to overclock/monitor/test like Asus AI Suite II or just go into the BIOS and do it myself.

The best method for overclocking is to make the changes in the bios, you have better direct control of the clock multiplier and the voltages. It will be questionable on your CPU getting to 4.8ghz and the only way you have a chance is with water.
Since all CPUs are just a bit different from each other it's the luck of the draw on whether or not you'll get a good overclocker.

Finally, a normal human being and not a jealous AMD user! I've been able to overclock my 3770K to 5.0 GHz with my Corsair Hydro Series H110 water cooling system on my ASUS P8Z77-M PRO motherboard! Here's a video of my i7-3770K @ 5.0 GHz scoring 10.20 Cinebench R11.5 x64 rendering points: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUoZDjGM9LM!

I think I've gotten a 1/1 000 000 CPU! I've been able to overclock my 3770K to 5.0 GHz without any problems! It runs as stable as a rock and has never crashed, even while running a Crysis server and Crysis for 12 hours straight! Here's a video of it scoring 10.20 Cinebench R11.5 x64 rendering points: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUoZDjGM9LM! My motherboard is ASUS P8Z77-M PRO and my water cooling system is Corsair Hydro Series H110.

What's the water-cooler you're using? If it's a H1##+ you should be able to get 4.8Ghz+ using a decent chip.
