ASUS Overclock Auto Tuning Question.

[Guest]

I want to get the most out of my system by overclocking. I'd be very happy with 4.0 GHz. I was thinking of using ASUS AI Overclock Tuner on Auto. I heard using the auto tuning is not good to do but I just don't want to mess anything up by doing it myself so would this be good? Also I heard Prime 95 and OCCT are bad for IVY Bridge because I have the I5-3570K, Hyper 212 EVO and a ASUS P8Z77-M. I heard those Programs are bad in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mkGQhE1o2w.

Just set the multiplier in BIOS for 40x. Try some benchmarks. See if it stays stable. Thats not a rough OC, it should work on Auto Voltage.

Those programs aren't a big deal if you have sufficient cooling. Its a torture test, because, you guessed it, you are torturing your system. Don't torture it too long or it will die! Like IRL! The hyper 212 is a decent air cooler, it should be fine for prime for over an hour (I dont need to be convinced after an hour, but thats me)

Hey thanks for the reply but I'm not very comfortable overclocking so if I use the ASUS Auto Tuner how could I switch back to default speeds?

You can go into the tuner and turn it off...

Yeah what he said ^. I kinda suggested the BIOS because that is exactly what Asus tuner is going to do: change the multiplier to 40x. It may do some voltage adjustments, but that probably won't be needed.

Well do you know any good tutorials for overclocking the I5-3570K on an ASUS Z77 MOBO because I don't want to mess it up like do I just set it to X.M.P. and 4.0 GHz what do I do to the voltage and etc

First, bump your multiplier up in small increments and reboot until your PC won't boot back into windows. Then reboot into BIOS, back off 1 or 2 on your multiplier and run prime 95 for about 30 minutes or so. If it's stable, bump your vcore up a few small increments (like .02 at a time or so) and bump your multiplier up and boot again.

If you back off and it's not stable during prime95, then bump your voltage until it is stable, and then proceed back to upping the multiplier and rebooting. Once you've had to run prime95, though, you run prime95 after every multiplier bump to ensure stability.

Yeah out an easy to follow tutorial it seems too complicated for me because I'm new to this can I just use auto tune without worrying it won't do a good job and do I go into the BIOS and load optimized defaults to go back?
