Hi, Was wondering if someone has a stable over clock on a z77 Extreme 6/TB4 and a i5 3570k CPU. As a CPU Cooler i have a NZXT Kraken x60. Would you thing it is possible to get 4.6 GHz with the cpu still running smooth?

Thanks.

It really varies from chip to chip, I have seen chips easily hit 4.6 - 4.8 and then I've also seen some struggle to be at decent temps at 4.1 :-/ You just have to jump in and figure out where your chip stands with trial and error. You've got a beastly cooler so you should be able to keep your temps at bay better than most. I've got a 3770k with a $20 CM Hyper 212 Plus and mine is perfectly fine at 4.4, if I got a decent water loop on there I could probably easily hit 4.7. Test it out and see where you can get it to :)
