Hi. I have maximus V Formula thunder fx, i5 3570, 2x 4GB Corsair vengeance ( black ). I know its very good mobo for OC. I can find many webpages where everything is explain but i dont want to learn and read everything about OC. I want to just do this. Can someone tell me what and where i should change for OC mobo ( most important for me ) CPU and memory ?

And if i use " gamers OC profile " ist good or can go better ?
 
If you want to overclock, you need to read about overclocking and understand what it is your doing for when things start to become unstable.
 
Not really. When i had intec core e6600 2.4 GHz few months ago i did OC to 3.2. If you can tell me what i have to change and value then i dont see the problem :)
 
if you have only the i5 3570 (the non "K" version), then you wont be able to overclock anyways. your old q6600 would let you overclock through the fsb, bit the i series dont support that. its now called the base clock. its set to 100 by default, and you may be alright setting it at 105 or 106. that will increase the core clock of the cpu a little bit, but if you start to get instability issues, then back it down till its stable. it will also overclock your ram speed too, but the board should be good to run at 105 or 106 for the base clock. if you had the "k" version of the i5, then all you would need to do is increase the multiplyer "x" to say 42 and turn off all the power saving features of the cpu like speed stepping, c1 and other power states, and you should be good to go. leave everything else stock.
 
Take a chill pill wolfe, and read the rules re swearing.

I wouldn't even consider the multi a form of stable overclocking and since I don't see you having ever done it, you can only suggest it tentatively.

We should also point out that the Core i5-3470 is not a K-SKU, meaning it is only partially unlocked. Overclocking is still possible, but the Core i5-3470’s maximum multiplier can be set to only four bins higher than its peak Turbo multiplier. Since the base clock is 100MHz and the Core i5-3470 has a peak Turbo frequency of 3.6GHz, its max stock Turbo multiplier is 36. Through overclocking, that multiplier can be increased to 40, for a peak Turbo frequency of 4.0GHz. Manipulating the base clock can also add a bit more juice, however, to the tune of an additional 5-7% in most cases.

Granted this is the 3470, but it hold true across most or all of the i5/i7 line.

That aside, and this is in no means pointed at #$%^ above me, You don't need to overclock it anyway. If you are wanting more performance, then fine. If you system will not do what you need, then you should have bought an i7 or LGA2011. Quite simple.
