OC i7 3770k with Asus Maximus V

[mugaro]

Hey,

I have had my computer for a couple of months now almost and I am looking to overclock.


Motherboard:
ASUS Maximus V FORMULA LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131854

CPU:
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K

I am thinking of overclocking to ~4-4.5 and I am unsure how to do this.

If anyone knows anything about how to go about this let me know.

have the same board and CPU. I run 1.28 vcore 4.4Ghz stable as could be...4.6Ghz @ 1.31. I have a custom loop cooler sahred by my sli 670's and temps get to about 73c on prime. if you want more Ghz and are gmaing and not so much video/audio editing etc...disable HT in bios..No HT= Cooler and less vcore
