Hey guys,

I finally ordered my new CPU. I was waiting for Ivy bridge but as that didn't turn out to be such a big improvement I went with sandy bridge instead.

Now I have a 2600K, ASUS Sabertooth P67 and 16GB of G.SKILL CL9 2133Mhz memory.


I don't plan on overclocking it much, pretty much anything I can get without too much hassle or possible stability issues. I have a half decent fan Zalman CNPS10X Quiet, so I think it should be able to handle a slight overclock.

So my question is. How do you go about overclocking these chips? Just increase the multiplier? What about turbo and similar stuff? Any other information you can share. I'd appreciate a short tutorial.

I'm not too concerned about memory speed, but if possible I'd like to get that higher than 1333Mhz too.

Just increase the MP and voltage. Just flick the voltage to like 1.30-1.35, get the MP up to 42-45 (the typical OC for SB without much extra voltage) and check if it's stable. If it is, start lowering the voltage until it isn't anymore and then go back up 2 notches Smile

As for the memory: should be a memory multiplier somewhere.

Thanks dude. A couple of questions:

Is there a separate multiplier for turbo or should I just disable turbo completely?

Also, will increased memory speed have impact on stability with OCed CPU?

Turbo should disable itself when you start overclocking anyway. And no, increased memory speed should have 0 effect, as your BCLK (what used to be the FSB basically) is fixed at 100. The CPU and RAM run on independent speeds now Smile

That's why I keep saying there's no point in buying these if you don't want to OC, it's so fucking easy now - no FSB headaches, throttling mechanisms that make it near impossible to blow your CPU up and stupid low temperatures Very Happy

Indeed they made it piss easy it seems Wink Anyway, components are on the way now. Thanks for your help. I'll report back after I install everything and reinstall windows (ugh :/)

Just got my stuff today.
I5 3570K
Corsair H100
Asus Sabertooth Z77
8gb Corsair vengance 1866mhz

Without having much of a clue i'm straight away @ 4.3ghz and 1866 ram with only a couple clicks.
(Gotta get a proper 24/7 oc done later after all the installs etc i'm doing right now.
But it is way less complex than overclocking the old 920 and cooler too.
Just ran prime for 10 mins and never hit above 58degrees on any core.

Okay cool. Mine doesn't seem to be much worse than yours so hopefully I can get similar results Smile

I need to get into overclocking again soon. I haven't pushed my CPU to the limit yet. I want it to be on the verge of burning! Twisted Evil

You SB bastards have it easy. I need to pump my cpu with at least 1.48v during load to reach 4.5Ghz
