Overclock i5 3570K on asrock z77 pro 3 ?

[Bassy]

Hi there,

I have bought a cooler hyper 212 evo to OC that proccesor...

my question is if that mobo is good to OC ?

I want to oc it to 4.5 ghz max

Weak power phase design , not great for OC.

Won't get near 4.5 with that board and the budget 212 EVO.

I would just go into the BIOS and increase the multiplier to bring it to 4.0GHz.
That speed should be a fairly safe overclock, just make sure you are checking your temps.

It was a low end budget Z77 motherboard when it was released. It was originally $95. Tweaktown got a decent overclock with an i7-3770K at 4.6Ghz. However, it required a higher voltage thus had higher temps than competing motherboards.

And they had a far Superior Cooler.

I owned an ASROCK Z77 Extreme 4 and 6 , but they are hard to find and very expensive.

I cant find any mobo like that in my country...ill have to update to i5 8600k soon...but expensive change

Right now , very expensive to build. Memory and Card prices or too inflated.

exactly, and i think i can keep my current specs for one more year..my 970 still rock...

if i buy 1070 with i5 3570k would do bottleneck right?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

In some scenarios yes , 970 is still adequate.
