[SOLVED] can i overclock my CPU?

[Before_Disrupt]

I want to overclock my intel i7 3770 cpu is it possible?(not 3770K)

 

[Koekieezz]

depends on your motherboard, non K intel could be OC ed by increasing BCLK, but tht would also increase the freq of other peripherals (such as ram, pcie slot, etc.)

No.
On some motherboards, you can oc perhaps by increasing the BCLK for a 1-2% gain but that has other ramifications.
Not worth doing.

If you can control PCI(e) and memory clocks you can use BCLK higher values but then you could be crippling performance of those components.
