overclock your cpu??

TO the OP> whyare you asking? is it so you can overclock your i7 3770, which you already know that you cant overclock? many people have already told you that you need the "k" version if you want to overclock. now, what the guy said that posted before me. if you dont do it through the bios, then you just dont do it. simple as that. since you cant do it through the bios, then you sol. there are programs that 'claim" to work, however, you will find yourself regretting it more than anything in the end, and ultimatly, will end up leaving your cpu at its stock clock anyways, since its too unstable doing it through a pragram. again, like everyone else has told you in previous threads, if you wanted to overclock, you should have gotton the 3770K.
 
The BIOS is going to be the best way and give you the most stable overclock at the end of the day. But you can't overclock an i7 3770 I'm afraid without it being a 3770K. Sorry. :(
 
its not the cpu im trying to overclock, im giving some information to a friend. i understand that it is nearly impossible to stably over clock an i7 3770.
This is for my friend cpu.
should have made that clear in the post.
sorry guys

It still stands, your friend's CPU or not, i7 3770 doesn't overclock. 3770K does. You can try going to the BIOS and changing BCLK value from the default 100 to a higher value, but ever since the Sandy Bridge processors (same goes for your friends Ivy Bridge), the bulk overclocking is extremely limited. You might be able to run it stable at 103 -106 depending on the voltages, but the gain will be, sadly, minimal.

What CPU, board and cooling does your friend have? If he's just interested, tell him that these days you do it through the BIOS by raising the voltage and multiplier usually. If he's looking to overclock his own, I recommend he does some searches online to find the best settings to use for his CPU and board configuration. Each board and CPU will overclock differently.
