How can I overclock my i5 3570k?I have a h100i cooler.And my motherboard is an ASRock z77 EXTREME4

I just so happen to the same hardware as you do. These are the guides I used:

http://www.overclock.net/t/1247413/ivy-bridge-overclocking-guide-with-ln2-guide-at-the-end

Managed to hit 4.55GHz stable all four cores 24+ hours on prime95.

Exactly what does this tell me?

Can you just tell me you settings?

I'll tell you straight up you're not going to get a high overclock if you don't do some work yourself. There is a VERY LOW chance that your chip will be stable at the same settings as mine. You have to raise the multiplier until your computer can't boot or isn't stable and then raise the VCore and turbo boost voltage until it does/is.

Why do you say that when you have the same mobo and CPU?

I oveclocked mine but it doesn't overclock I've done everything I did but just doesn't overclock.

OK so I grabbed my settings, you should only use these as reference and not something to expect out of your chip as stable.

Core ratio: Per Core
1 core/2 core turbo boost: 46
3 core/4 core turbo boost: 45

BCLK 101.2MHz

Turbo Voltage +0.074V

Long and Short Duration power limit = 500
Primary and Secondary Power Plane Current Limit = 500

Offset voltage +0.040V
Load Line Calibration (CPU) Level 2
LLC (iGPU) Level 3
CPU PLL Voltage @ 1.783V constant

You'll also need to go into the Advanced CPU configuration tab and set
Enhanced Halt State (C1E) @ Enabled

CPU C3/C6 Disabled
Package C State Support Disabled

All in all my Vcore tends to sit at 1.264V maximum with CPU temps at max hitting 83C peak with 68-75C average.

If you aren't able to overclock you're not setting your voltages at the right setting or your CPU multiplier is too high. Also if you're using the BCLK to overclock you really should NOT do that. Only reason I set my BCLK is to fine tune my overclock at 4.55 instead of having to make 4.6GHz stable with a ridiculous vcore.

"Why do you say that when you have the same mobo and CPU?"

Like I said, identical CPUs don't overclock the same. My friend's might be stable at 4.7GHz whereas mine is only stable up to 4.5 or 4.6GHz. So you might be able to use similar settings but you will still have to fine tune your overclock if you want to get the most out of your chip as possible.
