overclocking 4770k with sabertooth z87

[tcohen]

The title says it all. I have an i7-4770k with an Asus Sabertooth Z87 motherboard. I have zero experience with over clocking and I would like to know how and what to do to achieve around a 4.4 GHz overclock. I'm using an H100i so temps should not be as limiting.

Thanks,
Tom

The couple things I can think of to remember is run to
-Turn off turbo boost
-Adjust your CPU base clock frequency to 100 MHz
-Manualy adjust your core clock ratio/multiplier starting at 38x or 40x
-Adjust vcore manualy to 1.1 or 1.125 for starters

UEFI if voltage is left in auto will apply voltage far too aggressively and result in a massive amount of heat at a low overclock.

From here stability test with aida, prime 95, intel burn test etc, and if all looks good after half an hour to an hour then add more multiplier, otherwise add voltage in .01 to.05 volt steps until you get stability then add multiplier and repeat.

For haswell design temp is 90 degrees so try not to get above low 80's while stress testing. 70's is better if you can manage.

Don't mean to necromance this thread but I'm trying to overclock my 4770K to 4790K clocks, 4GHz with 4.4 Turbo. I have a Z87 Sabertooth and the bios is extremely messy/diverse, however you want to look at it and I cant find the turbo multiplier, only core/per core multiplier.
