Question about overclocking a i7 3770K?

ERIC J · Jul 3, 2015

Pardon my ignorance but i am new to pc tech and wanted to ask what would i gain by overclocking my 3770K?
I game,surf the web and download on my gaming tower so i am not sure what oc'ing the cpu would benefit me?
If i took it to 5.0 ghz from its stock 3.5ghz?

Taking a 3770K to 5ghz is a lofty goal even when you know what you're doing!

So list your specs and cooling?

I don't think you will get close to 5.0 with what you have but a modest increase of 4.4 / 4.5 would give you a good boost in CPU intensive games.

yeah i should have posted 4.5ghz, i guess i wrote 5ghz
in wishful thinking.
so it does have some benefit in games according to that site

You may get your 3770K to 4.5ghz with an EVO, but you have a lot to learn first.

This should be a good guide for you seeing as how you have an ASUS Z77 M/B the BIOS terminology will be pretty much the same.
