[SOLVED] Overclocking i7 3770 non k

[thekillerx10]

My motherboard : z77 d3h rev 1.2

So where to start i entered the bios but i can't edit anything cpu ratio turbo ratio or anything on this motherboard is there a problem with the motherboard?
Because i heard that the i7 3770 can be overclocked +400 mhz over the boost

i can't even overclock ram why?

You have a locked cpu. That means the bios will not allow overclocking as such, no ram OC, no cpu OC etc.

What you refer to is not OC. The 3rd gen allow you to bump the turbo speeds max 400MHz. That's not setting or changing the multiplier, like a standard OC, you have to go to another tab and look for the turbo ratio settings per core. It's those that can be raised. Otherwise the 3770 acts just like any other locked bios cpu.

yea i have looked into the turbo ratio and no everything is on auto and i can't change it

i don't even have xmp on this board in the bios what is going on

oh i was wrong i have 2 kind of rams one that have xmp and the other doesn't so that is why i don't have xmp in the bios,

The weird thing is that when i open task manager the cpu frequency is 4.2 ghz and i didn't overclock or do anything but in cpuid it is 3.7 ghz

 

[thekillerx10]

i figured out how to do it and now im on 4.1 ghz, but there is a weird thing i only see the 12v and 3.3v rail in bios i don't see the 5v rail is that okay?
