H80 & i7 3770k

If you have a good mobo with nice ocing capabilities, then you should be able to hit 5+ghz.
looking to the temps, for a permanent oc maybe 4.8-4.9ghz
 
smileman, i highly doubt he will get 5Ghz+ with an ivy bridge. the voltage required for that would easily push temps way beyond the safty zone. talking high 90's. and it would require more than 1.45v more than likley, which is just rediculouse for the heat the ivybridge produces.

To OP. i would say with that cpu, id be happy with 4.6Ghz, to 4.8Ghz. like said before, keep it under 1.375v. i have built 6 machines with the same cpu, with asus sabertooth, and asus maximus v gene, and the ud5h motherboards. the best overclock iwas able to get out of them all was 4.8Ghz stable @ 1.44v. ran warm as hell though on a h100 cooler. once these chips get to 1.3v, any further overclock requires more and more voltage for every 100mhz gain. it gets to be rediculous. for example. at 1.3v i can get 4.6Ghz. but if i want to run at 4.8Ghz, (only 2oomhz more), id have to bump voltage up to 1.425. thats .125 more, for just a 200Mhz gain. little performance gain, for so much more heat.

let us know what your results are.

I'll settle with 4.5 GHz then, so it should be stable with a H80? [I don't OC much]

yeah, the h80 should handle that cpu at 4.5 just fine. what board are you using? im thinking that you shold be able to get 4.5Ghz at 1.275 volts
 
if your using that board, then you couls just go into the bios, and set the voltage to 1.325v and set the multiplyer to 46, and you should be good to go with temps and stability for 4.6Ghz..maybe less voltage, but youwill have to toy around with it to see what you can run it at what voltage. let us know man

While this would probably work, I would heavily suggest leaning how your chip overclocks by doing it the long way.
