Hey guys,
So I bought the 3770 over the 3770K, as I didn't understand the difference and the 3770 was about $30 cheaper. I now feel like the worlds biggest dumbass.
I read into the Intel Turbo Boost, which can apparently 'OC' to 3.9GHz, which is still pretty pathetic, seeing as I've seen the 3770K OC to 4.4GHz on air.
What I'm wondering is, how can I activate the turbo boost (I've been into the BIOS and enabled everything, CPU-Z still says I'm at 3.4GHz), and is there any way to get a 4.0+GHz (I've read about a 3770 getting to 4.3), maybe by increasing the base clock? I'm a complete noob when it comes to OC, so a thorough explanation of the process would be much appreciated.

The guy said he got 4.1GHz.
I have no idea how he did this, as I said above I'm completely now to OC, so please give all the help you can ^_^
Thanks a lot guys,
