Hi guys.

First of all, I'm no overclocking expert.

Specs:
Core i7-3770k @ 3.5 GHz, GTX 660 Ti 2-Way SLI Overclocked, AsRock Z77 Extreme4,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB-1866MHz, 2TB Western Digital Green Cavier HDD + 500GB
HITACHI HDD, Corsair Neutron 64GB SSD, Xigmatek 700Watt Centauro Power Force
(80+ Bronze certified) modular PSU, TX3 Cooler master, Xigmatek ASGARD 382 Black.

How to do it??

I did try reading some O.C guides.No use. Just confusion.

Read these terms CPU RATIO (multiplier), BCLK/PCIE frequency, CPU voltage offset, DRAM voltage, PCH voltage, VTT voltage,CPU PLL voltage, VCCSA voltage, IGPU Voltage offset.

Also, I can (if you suggest) O.C with Asrock Extreme Tuning Utility.

An expert's guidance is much appreciated.

The air cooler you chose will be a load temperature limiting factor as to how far you'll be overclocking your 3770K.

First off lets discuss the TX3 cooler you chose, and it's 3 pipe copper cooling pipe orientation to the CPU socket.

The reason for that is getting the center heat pipe directly over the CPU die alignment under the heat spreader.

The link below shows a delidded 3770K and you can see the die orientation to the CPU alignment notches of the socket, you want to make sure the center heat pipe of the TX3 is over the die to achieve as good a cooling directly over the die as possible.

For illustrating purposes only!

You may already have the cooler mounted in alignment with the direction of the die, but you need to check it and see, and if it isn't then remount the cooler and align the heat pipe in the same direction as the die.

This will give you a more even core reading across all the cores rather than the pipes running perpendicular to the die orientation.

Do you understand?
