Hey guys!

So I wanted to overclock my CPU and thought it would be really hard until I watched some videos and it turned out to be really easy (I hope so xD)

- I have P8Z77-V Pro and basically what I did was setting the CPU ratio to 4.8 as shown:

1) Is everything OK here? Should I disable the speedtest thing?

- After I did that, somethings were uncontrollable (cant click on them) like turbo ratio and ratio synchronization control (but it shows 4.8 on all cores):

- I also changed some stuff here:

2) Is everything OK?

- I haven’t touched anything related to voltages:

3) Is everything OK in here?


- Surprisingly, my CPU’s temperature and stability are AMAZING with this simple clueless overclock to 4.8ghz xD

- I ran a stress test (Prime95) and it was really 4.8ghz with max temperature 70-80

* I’m using an air CPU cooler (Thermaltake Frio) but my room is kinda cold. ^^


PLZ TELL ME IF THIS IS ALL REAL AND CORRECT ^_^

 
Solution
Yup, all seems ok to me. Give it a good testing (atleast a days worth of several different tests) to see if its really stable. If you notice anything odd, dial it down a little.

Well done :)
