Hey all,

It's been years since I dabbled in the arts overclocking and having bought my 3770K 2 years ago thought it was time to "pop it's cherry" so to speak.

Embarrassingly, I couldn't even recall the proper way to go about it so I just bumped up the multiplier to 40x and the core voltage to 1.125v which was an effective 500mz gain.

I just put this thing through a few benchmarks and intensive games and the peak temp is at 53c on Air. This seems pretty legit to me atm, so since I kinda lucked out by not blowing up my CPU, what would be the better, more efficient way to get this chip higher ?

This is the first time I have Overclocked this chip, so I got no idea what it can do.

*waits for a popping sound to come from tower*

I'd have gone the slow and steady way, increase the multiplier by one, with stock voltage, then stress test for half an hour, check if temps cross 75C. Then again increase multiplier, repeat until it crashes, then give it some more Voltage, in increments of 0.05V, to know the least stable VCore on that particular OC. Then increase the multiplier again, stop when you can't go higher with VCore no more than 1.35V and temps no more than 75C on stress testing for couple hours. That should be your highest OC.
