Alright so i decided to OC my i5 3570k but i have no clue what to do.
I'm going right now to buy a CM hyper 212 evo for my cpu. Going to reapply new paste aswell.
My ram is gskill sniper 2x4gig 1866mhz.
GPU : gtx 660 ti
When i 1st got my PC, i noticed in the ASROCK's (extreme 4 z77) bios that my ram was operating at 1600mhz. I tried to clumsily change it to 1866mhz with a 9-9-9-24 timing. When i applied the changes and rebooted, Windows 7 64bit refused to boot.
So 3 questions.
1) How do i set my ram to 1866mhz with proper timings (which is supposed to be the factory setting)
2) How do i OC my CPU to 4.2ghz (seems to be the most stable frequency)
3) Is there anything else i should know? lol
