Overclocking - Asus P7H55-M LE Mobo & Intel Core i5-760 Processor 2.8 GHz

[William Carter]

Hi guys, so I am upgrading to a new setup in like 2 months, but until then, I was wondering if you guys could help me squeeze out a little more power in my current setup. This is what I have (everything is stock)...

Asus P7H55-M LE Motherboard (Max 8GB RAM)

Intel Core i5-760 Processor 2.8 GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1156

Corsair Vengeance - DDR3 - 8 GB : 2 x 4 GB - DIMM 240-pin - 1600 MHz / PC3-12800 - CL9 - 1.5 V - unbuffered - (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B)

EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW DVI-I/HDMI/Display Port GDDR5 Graphics Card with ACX Cooling 02G-P4-3757-KR

I know absolutely nothing about overclocking or voltage jargon... I'm not trying to supercharge anything, just want to know what you guys think I could safely get out of each of these pieces using stock cooling. Also, any step by step guides for dummies on these would be appreciated.

Thanks so much. This community has always been very helpful.

I have nearly the same setup only that i use the Biostar T5xe-sli board and 1333MHz DDr3 8gb ram. But i would guess that the stock cooler isn't good enough to attempt any overclock for the i5-760 from what i saw on some videos on youtube and some forum threads. I would suggest getting a better cooler 1st. I think that CPU has a good range of Overclockability.
