Hey guys, so I just got the 4670k and a h100i cooler for a great deal. I paired it with a ASUS HERO motherboard and I was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions and advice getting started.


I've fooled around a bit on my own and so far I'm running 4.4ghz at 1.200 voltage with adaptive setting in place for it. I'm not sure if that's good or not as I'm still learning overclocking properly. I heard the 4670k could even go to 4.7ghz and I figured my new cooler could handle it heat wise. Anyway how should I go about overclocking it to 4.7ghz if possible what are good voltages for that or should I go to a 4.5/6/ instead at a better voltage? and what are some temperature max I should watch out for?

On the Tweaking page, go down till you find Extreme Tweaking and enable that, below it is CPU level or something like like that just select 4.2 or 4.4 or can try 4.6 - select 1 and let it go to town, it will take it a minute or too to set things up, then it will boot

Start by trying 4.6, can use the built in presets on the mobo, get screen shots of voltages and current settings (insert a flash drive and boot to BIOS, when you want to save a screen - hit the F12 key, will save it to the flash drive, then try the 4.6 and can see the changes it has made, can play with those, can often lower vCore if a strong CPU and go from there

That's a common thing, especially when they seem to change the terminology every time you turn around - i.e. the Memory controller voltage Socket 775 was the North Bridge (NB) voltage, and depending on what you sit at today the MC voltage will be CPU/NB, VTT, VCCIO, QPIVTT, VCCSA, and who knows what else

So, I've been playing around a lot. So far my best stable voltage after a short 3 hours test is 4.5ghz at 1.275v is that good? Also, should I keep my voltages set at manual or should I keep adaptive on? As power consumption is not concern of mine.

That's not bad at all, OCing is all experimenting - what I would do now is get screenshots of all your settings, and see how you like it, then whan you have time and want to experiment you can play with adaptive, or just see how high you can go or whatever, and you can always fall back to what you are currently at by checking your screen shots - some will OC great at a static vCore, others may do better with adaptive
