Looking for assistance with boosting your i7 3770k performance on an Asus motherboard?
Hi there, I'm working on overclocking my CPU. My motherboard is a P8 B75-M LX and I'm using an i7 3770k. I've tried adjusting the CPU ratio but haven't reached 35 yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The mobo doesn't support CPU multiplier OCing
Thanks for the help, is there a way of BCLK or am I just stuffed until I get a new motherboard?
IMO, What you would get out of BCLK OCing an i7-3770K would not be worth all the trouble you'll face in trying to get it stable.
Try to find a Z77 M/B like this and you won't be held back by anything but your overclocking knowledge and your CPU cooling.

Edit: If you are even considering getting another motherboard do not wait too long, they are quickly disappearing from availability.
