Learn how to safely and effectively increase the clock speed of your I5 3570k processor.
I'm really new to gaming rigs before, but I want to make sure my setup runs smoothly. I need advice on how to overclock efficiently and safely. If anyone can help, you'd be a big help!
I already have good cooling in place, so that's covered. Now I just need to learn the safe and effective way to boost performance.
Also, I currently own a Hyper 212 EVO with push/pull functionality. In the future I plan to upgrade to something stronger like a Noctua NH-D14 or an H100.
Thanks ahead of time! Looking forward to getting started.
It's quite simple, depending on your motherboard. I experimented with the OC software that came with the ASRock Extreme4 this morning and increased it from stock 3.4 to 4.1 using a Evo in push only mode, maintaining temperatures below 60°C under load (tested with OCCT). All I did was click the "+" button on the interface a few times...
Don't give him an article on overclocking Sandy Bridge. Ivy Bridge behaves differently and needs a separate approach.

Aim to keep voltage low and check the limits.
j_e_d appears to be progressing well; I’d aim for around 4.4ghz, which should match a 4.7ghz Sandy Bridge for most workloads.
Based on my modest and non-professional overclocking background with the Intel® Core™ i5-3570K, you may utilize the board's auto-overclocking options. Simply adjust the speed or I attempt 1.15v, which should enable reaching 4.2GHz to 4.4GHz according to my own experience tuning the same processor.
I actually visited 3.8 (with all four cores in the bios) while Turbo was on, and it stayed there. BF3 runs about 90%. I plan to try different games next year and make adjustments if needed.
