Hey, what's up? I'm asking about this OC chip with a 3770k clock and 2133 speed on the DDR3 memory.

Hey everyone, I want to keep my PC running for another one or two years (maybe until the Zen4 card drops out). I've tried to upgrade it a lot but haven't seen much luck. I managed to get 4.3 Ghz on my CPU with Prime95, but that's all I got. The main gear is: CPU 3770k, RAM RipjawsX DDR3-2133MHz CL11-13-13-31 running at 1.50V with 16GB (two 8GB sticks), motherboard ASUS P8Z68-M PRO, cooler Noctua NH-L12, case Corsair Air Carbide 240, power supply HX850i, and using Windows. Basically everything runs in auto mode to get those numbers. My speed test shows Prime95 getting 80-84 degrees Celsius while playing games it gets around 76 degrees C at the top. The RAM is set to 1600 MHz because I tried XMP or pushing it to 2133 MHz but Windows won't start up at those speeds. My goal was to get at least 4.5 Ghz, and if that speed isn't great with better timings on DDR3, let's keep it at 1600 with lower settings. Any tips or step-by-step guides would help a lot thanks! Cheers!!!
