Just wanted to know since I've never overclocked before if I can overclock my 4670k without increasing the voltage. I don't want any big overclock I just want to see how high it could go on stock voltage. I've read alot of guides all over the internet and alot of them of course say the results can vary depending if you got a good chip or not.

I just want a minor overclock nothing too big and my goal is a small 4.0 Ghz overclock. I've read on some cases online that you don't even have to raise the voltage to reach that and I wanted to know if so will the turbo boost kick in if its at 4.0 Ghz and go up to 4.4 if that's the case? Or is turbo boost disabled once you overclock. Also this is my build below and is my CPU Cooler enough for a 4.0 GhZ overclock on this chip?

You can try a 4.0 OC with stock voltage, but don't get your hopes up too high. Some chips can, others can't. You won't know until you try.

I'm not familiar with that particular Phantek cooler but they seem to make real high quality stuff and I expect that you'll do just fine with that cooler.

My rig in my sig does not turbo boost the OC above what I set in the BIOS. YMMV.
