Hi,
I need some guidance on overclocking my i7-4770k. My approach will start by pushing it to discover its maximum performance and check if I’ve managed to get a strong CPU (or a weaker one). Next, I plan to stabilize the clock at 4.0 GHz. Could you estimate how much voltage I’d need and what temperatures are likely? I’m currently using an H100i, so heat isn’t a major concern, but I still want to know if there’s any advice from others. Thanks a lot!

It all hinges on your specific CPU, as each one is unique. A recent study they conducted showed some intriguing outcomes: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/06/0...oSASfkrJD_ They suggest starting with vCore at 1.25 and gradually increasing the multiplier while keeping an eye on temperatures.
