- So this is a simple overclocking tutorial for the beginners watching my videos. Many users, especially youngsters often hoard these older components to use as a daily system because they are pretty much the cheapest entrance to desktop PC. For example the parts I use on this video are very cheap today, and cheaper option overall than buying anything new from the store.
On the video I show you how to do a simple overclock of 4.5GHz on an Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge CPU using a Z77 motherboard. Memories I recommend you use the target specs of the kit itself.

Thanks for watching! - Наука та технологія
Thank you Luumi. I'm still running a p67 + 2500k build and had a bios chip corrupt about a year back when a power supply was failing. Flashing a new bios lost my overclock settings from years prior and I've been meaning to spend a weekend getting a tuned overclock setup again. Appreciate the step-by-step walkthrough to help me get through the process and get re-educated on some of the settings.
I picked up this exact board not long ago for 70 bucks to play around with. Thanks for making the guide.
I expanded the display area and put the start of this video on pause, then got caught up with something else. When got back to this PC, I first thought my PC had crashed and rebooted bc my OC was unstable, hah.... I love these videos that help extend the usefulness of old but good tech. It all depends on what you're using or will use your PC for--even for the new stuff that's out (on paper anyway). Thanks
Bloody brilliant video mate. If only I saw this video 8 years ago when I first bought my 3770k + z77 sabertooth board. One thing I've always had trouble with has been my memory. I have 32gb of 1866MHz and when I enable xmp my system becomes super unstable. I'm going to try following the video and see how I get on. Thanks for the vid, very cool and great job.
this is becoming my favourite channel and I like the way he explains things!!
Thank you! Yes I have some points others don't.
Great video: just grabbed this board as a replacement for a msi z77a-gd65 (bios wont recover) that OCed to 4.9; getting 4.4 on this board with your guidance in 10mins vs years on the old.
Im using a similar kit right now hahaha, Z77 + 3770K @4.1GHz and 16Gb 1800MHz. It's nice to see this videos about old tech, would love to see some colection of best motherboards pre 1151. Some of us just cant upgrade in this market, sadly.
Greetings from Brazil, Luumi!
I'm have the same motherboard and the same i7 so I will try this soon. First, I have to improve my skills to let go the fear. Thank you sir.
still powerful guide thanks i learn alot
Thanks for this video. I'm still running a non-k 3770 and I just purchased a high-end GPU and am really feeling the CPU bottleneck. After the GPU purchase, I can't yet afford a full system upgrade, so I'm considering picking up a 3770k with a D15 cooler and overclocking it until I can switch to Alder Lake. I'm completely inexperienced with overclocking so this video will help. I have essentially the same motherboard. Biggest difference is I have DDR3 1600 RAM, so I'll need to compensate for that.
Thank you bro for the tutorial just reached 4.5 GHz with this board
Great job, I have a processor like this and use it stable at 4.3GHZ. Thank you for your content, greetings from Brazil
Dale pedro Henrique só os BR entao
@@caio_oppeter6164 Salve! é nois
Fala Pedro... tem como passar aqui as configurações do seu overclock.... tipo o que vc fez de diferente do tutorial do vídeo?... agradeço
@@mcsonhiphop7 Opa cara, beleza. Não tenho mais esse kit, mas o negócio é ir fazendo e testando. Não subir muito a voltagem, VCore, pois isso sim pode estragar a longo prazo, de resto é paciência e teste.
@@MrPedrohenriquebad valeu Pedro.... deixei no 4.2 mesmo para oq preciso ficou ótimo... abraços ✌👽
Great video Luumi! Made me think the only time I won the silicon lottery.
I've had a 3570k @4.8GHz daily for years at a ridiculous low voltage (honestly I don't remember how much, but it was like the same a lot of people used to run 4.5/4.6 GHz).
Thank you for this video. I want to try overclocking my Intel Core i7 3770k.
Its working for p8p67 evo thx bro ❤️
Great video.
could you make the guide to overclock to 2500k please?
thank you so very much for this vid
Overclocking with the best looking z77 board imo 😝
Nope, I really liked Z77 OC Formula but it dies easy. So I think I should get M5 Extreme.
Hello, I love the video, I have the same config, and I use 4.4GHz (1.175v), the difference between my config and yours: I leave the CPU Voltage Freq. (AUTO), CPU Current Capability (130), and DRAM Voltage Freq. (AUTO), there is any problem leaving this way? Its too bad? Thank you!
Excellent video, thanks!
You're welcome! Hopefully you will subscribe!
@@LuumiJuhani Done and done!
Aivan loistavaa. Kone jökkäsi loman jälkeen. Ei enää käynnistynyt työpöydälle ja poistin ylikellotukset. Nollasin biosin. Ei auttanut. Asensin 10:n uudelleen. Ei auttanut. Olin jo tilaamassa uusia osia kun kokeilin antaa emon kellottaa ja hakea muistiasetukset. Kone käynnistyi työpöydälle. Nyt 4,3Ghz kellot ja ajanut stressitestejä ja kone on vakaa. Seuraavaksi lähden muuttamaan vanhaa 4,5Ghz asetusta ohjeidesi mukaan jotta löydän ja tajuan tekemäni virheen... Kone toimi pari vuotta moitteetta ja nyt totaalinen jumi. Toivottavasti pääsen takaisin 4,8Ghz jolla olen joskus tätä kiveä onnistunut pyörittämään.
ottimo video!!! posso ottenere lo stesso tipo di oc utilizzando gigabyte z77x ud3h ?? (i7 3770 k )
From where you bought this golden sample and for how much?
it works amazing ty
luumi i have a problem just with my rams corsair vengeance 1600 mhz 32gb if i want change over 1600 crashed the cpu ov is ok many thanks for your guide but just this is the problem can you help me ?
Hey there, tried your guide and could'nt boot for a while. Next I removes one of my sticks of memory and I was able to boot and revert back my settings. I own a 3770k, z77 and 4 sticks of corsair vengence 4gb. Do you know what might have happened?
Hi,
I know I’m late but I need to ask, My Ai Tweaker doesn’t have the same options you have, I don’t have the Ai over lock tuner option, and all the other stuff I only have 3 options
I have the i7 3770 (non K)
when i did the setting the way you did every time i put a load on the cpu the program would crash. I went into bios and set it to offset mode and then it has not yet crashed. i think it is because it set the cpu voltage to 1.5v
Amazing video and guiding. I copied all the settings for my Asus p8z77-WS motherboard with Noctua NH-D15 cooler on great tempteratues and runs like butter. What settings can I change if I want to bump it up to 4.7 or 4.8? I really want to get the last full capacity out of my CPU if possible, appreciate any help.
Well mainly the vcore really. You can try to go a bit higher and see if you can get it stable. Maybe check out my patreon discord if you want to get more deep in the subject.
According to ASUS, VCCSA is sensitive and higher values than necessary can actually destabilize RAM. I’d suggest starting at stock, 1.05V. If you are tightening the RAM timings / overclocking the RAM then you can raise the VCCSA one step at a time and test for stability at each increased voltage step. At your own risk of course.
Enabling PLL Overvoltage was necessary to hit 5.0 Ghz using High LLC on my Z68 board with a delidded 3770k. CPU PLL Voltage seemed unstable below stock 1.8V. I’ll have to do more testing to see if I can lower that to reduce temps.
Thanks. Completely new to overclocking and couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t able to hit 4.5ghz. I have no idea which setting would be the best to tinker with but this seems to help.
I tried this, but it fails .. when I run corona benchmark it stops after 2 minutes.
I might be doing something wrong, but, I tried the steps, and even on XMP ram settings,
It only works from EZ mode, on the 41 multiplyer.
Hi maybe you know why I can’t choose X.M.P mode
Overclocking is fun and well 5 to 10% for a good overclock now that can be a full generation for intel
I'm using 3770k with p8z77v-lx, working fine @4.4GHz 1.28v using XTU (pc is turned on for an almost whole day, with a lot of idling, so it keeps going down to lowest pstate)
Nice video! Respekt. Please continue as much as you can teaching how to OC old stuff. Allot of people still use it, as you said.
I use an 3770 NON k, OC'd @4.1 all core's on a P8Z77V-LX just with the multiplier. Do you think that it can do more? Thanks.
If you aren't going above 80°c with prime95 then you can probably bump the multiplier once. If it becomes unstable, but you know you have the thermal headroom, bump up the vCore by 0.01 until it becomes stable, stress test it and check the temps. Rinse repeat until you run out of headroom.
You could try to tweak the baseclock a little, but I don't recommend it, as most intel CPUs really tend to dislike booting with even small baseclock bumps. I could go 105 bclk just fine, but at 106 I had to remove the CMOS battery to get to see the bios again. I suspect my 1333mhz Corsair vengeance is to blame.
Don't worry, as long as you turn the knobs slowly, instability will prevent you from seriously harming anything.
Once youre happy with your overclock, prime95 for 2-4 hours. If you're going to have issues, they will show up in the first hour. The other hours are for safety. Any more than that would just be a waste of electricity.
@@hoverbike thank you very much for your time and help.
I will have to try directly with Vcore, because it doesn't go above 4.1 @ all core's. Actually it goes higher with just 2 cores but the remaining 2 goes down @ 4.0 or 3.9
I can also try with Bclk but I already know that it will not go above 105, and I think is maximum for this H61/H77/Z77 MB Chips.
If I will achieve something noticeable, (I'll be back)! 😊
Thank you.
Can only the CPUs with "K" overclock, or also my I5 2400 or I3 2320? I have 2 boards for these CPUs one original Intel and one Asus, both have OC options...
Do I have to overclock my ram? I have 16gb ram
bonjour je possède cette configuration depuis des années et ça fait un moment que je l'ai pas utilisé... Mais si je pouvais faire une petit overclocking pour gagner un peu de performance... j'ai un watercooling corsair avec radiateur de 120 et de la ram en 1600mhz est ce que ça serait suffisant pour du 4.2ghz voir un peu plus ??
Thanks a lot for the guide, Luumi. Little question. If I want to OC my 3770K to 4.5 GHz, can I do it without memory OC, or do you recommend to OC them both? I have 4x8GB Kingston RAM
You don't have to, but it depends on your memory what they are by default. Just set them to XMP.
@@LuumiJuhani Thanks!
Memory OC isn't really worth it on anything prior to skylake/ryzen. For regular gaming that is, of course if you're extreme overclocking you do want to squeeze out that little bit of performance you get with a nice set of G.Skill Pi/Trident X or Corsair Dominator DIMMs.
Tkank you so much!
Can I do this on a Intel Desktop Board DH77EB? Chipset H77?
help my pc up to 24 gb of ram to 1866 recognizes them but when I put a fourth ram to have the 32 gb the screen is black and I do not know what to do try with an i7 2770k processor and ahlra with an i7 3770s and the same thing happens.
Great tutorial, great video! Unfortunately my chip is far from gold and i can only achieve 4.6ghz with 1.42. Now that's what i want to ask: whats the max limit voltage YOU recommend for the 3770k? Here its delided, dual tower air cooler, with 29c amb i get 77 max cpu package in 10min of cinebench r23. 2x8gb ddr3-2400 as well. 1.42v is ok? 4.8 as far as i tried only with 1.51v+ but i think it's too high...
Jesus fucking christ 1.5v is INSANE is that chip dead yet? I'm shocked it didint break 80.
my old cpu motherboard asus z77 maximus v gene 4.5ghz so easy but daily use 4.2ghz
Any chance of seeing some X99 ?
holy shit finally
a video just for me lol
new to overclocking and my cpu wont go over 3.9ghz but ive used it with this mobo at 4.3 before
i have the same bios but why does mine not say target cpu turbo mode speed
I don't know why but after installing ripjaws xmp ram I got this cpu stable at 4.675ghz. All I changed was load line to ultra and cpu current to 120%
can i do this with asus h61 motherboard?
hi sir.. i have a question.. i have an ASRock H61M-VG4 motherboard.. also an Ivybridge.. it has just 2 slots for ram.. it's dual channel.. my question is, can i use 2pcs. 16GB DDR3 RAMs for this? i don't wanna risk buying ahead and buy something that doesn't work.. :( there is no article if it works now for higher RAM.. all i know is the default is 16gb.. but i think it was because there were no 16gb ddr3 ram before..
16GB is max for this mainboard. so 2x 8GB is the max you can do.
@@drunkenn00b ohh.. thank you sir.. that is also what i have seen in their website.. i just wanna know if it was just because there were no 16gb sticks before that is why they limited it to that.. thanks for the reply..
I7 3770K + Asus Sabertooth Z77 + 2133 Mhz Kingston Predator 16gb Ram,650 watt inwin psu... but cannot be overclocked the computer turns on and off by itself ... Then press f1 it says overclocking did not happen .. Where am I making a mistake?
I have the same mobo/cpu, and my system will not overclock. I make all the changes in bios/eufi, but when I go into cpu-Z, it still shows that it’s running at 3.9 ghz max, when it is set to run at 4.5 ghz. Any ideas why??
change your mb battery
Are current coolers backwards compatible with 1155?
Many mainstream Intel coolers are designed for LGA115X so fit many of those sockets.
Somehow, it will not show the overclock in cpu-z. Looks like its stuck at 4ghz...
I tried the parameters that you demonstrated, but my computer does not turn on, the screen is black. I tried to apply other settings and get a blue screen. I have a i7 3770k asus p8z77-v deluxe. In the optimal mode, the frequency is 4.2, games crash after 15 minutes. I tried to set the frequency to 4.5 (everything else is automatic), the games crash after 3 minutes, what should I do?
Do not do loadlines. Reset everything and just do flat 1.305-1.325v @4.5 all cores
No PLL. No turbo boost. Don’t do anything to power except flat voltage
asus p8z77-v (bios 2104), i7 2600k 4.2-4.5 GHz (103*43) 1.2-1.35v, ddr3 2x8 1866 (but only in 3 and 4 slot, bclk 103 slightly improves the memory speed, so I set 102-103 ("stable" up to 103.5)
I set a maximum of 4.7 (101*46) and for my cooling max t. 65, and somehow I launched through Ai Suite 2 - "Auto tuning" and tried "Extreme overclocking" and knowing that it would reboot, I went to make tea, I come back I see testing 4.9 (103*47) and the notification "cpu voltage 1.5" 😓stopped, knowing my cooling and something a lot on the cpu (I read and tried up to 1.4v)
My cpu running 1.6ghz how to fix this
Can I overclock my I7-3770K with Asus P8P67 REV 3.1 according to this beginner guide?
Pretty much yes.
I have the same board :)) But only I5 2400 :( Can this also O/C without the "K"??
Mulla ollu enne 4.5ghz mutta en tiedä millä asetuksilla. Oon my saanu ite 4.4ghz mutta 1.30V jännitteellä! Ja 4.5ghz vaatii lähemmäs 1.4V että edes menee windowsiin asti.
Ongelmana on myös se että jos biosista laitta esim 1.28V niin windowsissa näkyy kuormalla 1.32V ja idlellä hyppii 1.34V-1.38V. lämmöt kumminkaan ei yli 75 mene enimmäkseen n.69c
Netissä kaikilla paljon pienemmmät jännitteet.
Emolevynä on z77-g43a msi joka oc kannalta hiukan niukka asetuksiltaan.
I am in France, (so a developped contry) and I have a 3570K. So that would be wast to not use it if it can still be a very good cpu.
Same Germany (but really more 3rd world meanwhile), bought an Asus P8K67 board plus I5 2400 plus 3x4Gb DDR3 plus 240gb SSD :P Upgrade for my ex Core2Duo E6750 CPU Only the SSD was new everything other 2nd hand Guess one needs a CPU with "K" to O/C ?
I followed exactly what you did and it gets to a blue screen with a sad face, what do I do?
Your pc is trash lmao
Well, being six months down the line, this is probably wasted effort, but:
Your settings are off (unstable) by such a degree that windows cannot recover from the errors.
The error that you receive is very valuable information, it can tell you almost exactly what the problem is.
I was going to go out on a limb and give you suggestions for solutions, but not knowing the errors you're having, I'd be shooting in the dark, and someone might read this and wrongly apply the solution.
I'd recommend you reset all settings, and then follow the guide step by step, and booting in between ALL changes. This way, you know exactly where the train goes off the tracks, and this makes troubleshooting into child's play
Can u make same on i7 4790k & z97? (like & thx)
I already did a short video about this some time ago. Go earlier on my channel and you can find 4790K + Z97 OC Formula.
Did you update the bios to the latest version
No, I just used that version from august 2013.
@@LuumiJuhani you should update bios
I have 7 2600k and I set everything except for the power supply at 48 hertz 1.51 stably, well, I didn’t touch the drama, it is capricious. The main thing for me is that the power does not jump and the frequency of the ato crashes
mark after like,although it no a problem to oc , but noob sometime dont know how to move so vedio make them follow and make them successed thx
The only way i managed to get 4.5ghz is on 2 core, 1 and 2. 3 and 4 are unstable at 4.5ghz, put them at 4.4ghz, so un-sync cpu. No matter cpu voltage. 1.265v 45-45-44-44
Mine doesn’t have the option XMP
Hi, wondering if anyone could help me I copied everything on here but when and saved it, I've tried it a few times but when I go to test it, it stays at 3.4ghz
Don't touch asus core enhancement. And check power savings in OS.
@@LuumiJuhani okay thank you for the reply mate , I'll give it ago in abit now thanks
change your mb battery
That's not a bad bin. My 3570k needs 1.38v for 4.7
My previous 3770K did 5ghz below 1.3v that did many records.
Tried removing CMOS for 10 minutes still nothing.
I set mine just a little lower than yours I'm using fan cooling, running 4.1Ghz
I entered bios and changed to x45 aka 4500mhz and now it rund 4650mhz, dno why 4650 but ty I guess 😂 only used cinebench r23 for 1h to test it and worked. Gsmed for a few days now and clock is stuck on 4650 and temps never above 50-58c with noctua aircooler. Happy AF, didnt know these chips oc so easy 😂😂
Anybody watching this. If your CPU is either damaged or very hot, clicking OC Tuner may make your system unable to boot. Happened to me. Then you have to pull the plug/pin on the motherboard and put it at 2-3 (Google motherboards manual pdf) and start the computer, and then put it back at 1-2 and restart again and your computer will work again. So be aware, it's a dangerous button! Happened to me yesterday!
It's also using a bus clock overclock which is never super stable or "safe"
i can't unlock the multiplier. I just don't have a core ratio limit option in my bios
Non-K cpu?
@@LuumiJuhani Yes non K.But i see videos that its normal to push little the cpu :)
Based on tests and scores found online this particular Intel i7 3770K could very well be the best 3770K and Ivy Bridge CPU that ever existed
it is
Yea I bought one 9 years ago when they came out. Still have yet to find a game or anything that has been bottle necked by it.. I had a 670 with a ref cooler and It cooked itself ran at like 75c under load and eventuslly died I ocd it. Bought a 1070 evga fuck the world edition and got it at 2ghz i7 at 4.6 ghz and 16gb ddr3 1600 to 1866
Do you not check for whea19 errors in event viewer?
No.
@@LuumiJuhani i haven't been overclocking since the pentium days, and back then, 'stable' was to be able to run things such as prime95 power viruses for hours on end, looking for errors or bsod's.
I've learned that intel CPUs 3rd gen onwards give us WHEA error 19-20 in the cases of low vCore where the error is recoverable, however, this isn't a catch-all - you can't rely on this. You may suddenly experience software crashes. If you are lucky, you can actually hit a voltage where windows is right on the edge of even being able to run at the voltage. Leave it alone, and it's just barely enough to work. Open up windows media player, play some music, and you'll start seeing errors pop up left and right before a bsod occurs.
That's the visual example of what happens. You can gradually apply more voltage and slowly see stability being reached, to the point where you will run 'stable enough' to either run cinebench, add a little more voltage for highly demanding games, etc. But the takeaway is that, you haven't achieved stability like stock until these errors stop. The difference between barely boots and stable as stock is 1.27v @ 4.2ghz Vs 1.36v
This is why people refer to certain clocks as 'daily driver'.
These are my arguments as to why you should adhere to WHEA errors.
In your own opinion, why do you think this is wrong?
I can just imagine a 'slightly unstable' overclock leading to troubleshooting hell... I mean, some programs function flawlessly, others don't. If you don't check the error logs, you might have no idea why that program always stops working and crashes out of nowhere.
Is there some Windows software that I can tweak and try ?
Whats the absolute minimum settings to change to overclock my 3770k to 4 to 4.5ghz?
I recently upgraded from this setup. It’s just not enough power in 2023.
it's faster then my new 12600k xD
I'm so pissed with my I7 3770K + Sabertooth Z77 that I got recently. Basically can't even get to my old I7 2600K + Sabertooth P67 level of performance, it was at 4.9ghz and recently burned 1 core but still magically works by setting 3 cores in the bios.
Getting 4.6ghz is already pretty hard on this crap, 4.7 needs more than my 2600K at 4.9ghz and 4.8ghz almost impossible 🤬
Also I have the CPU full direct-die-to cooler without the heat spreader so it just can't get any better other than going watercooling, I'm using a new Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE.
ps: If I wasn't tired already of disassembling and assembling this crap many times I'd test this CPU on my Sabertooth P67 to see if it would go better because this Z77 originally had the bios completely screwed and had to flash it with AMI Winflash ("AfuWin64") or else I couldn't even get my 2133mhz ram above 1600mhz and was also only reading half the ram while it clearly could read all the dims in the SPD. F* this...😡
Please edit out your sighs in future, otherwise, great video.
Umm, it says my pc ran into a problem, I need help, like NOW
Just unstable?
It just fucked my pc up wow fuck sake I did everything now I can’t even change it back for fuck sake
Have to flash bios and start all over
I did this now my computer won't display to my monitor at all RIP me
