Hi guys,
I'm looking into further overclocking my system. I've been wanting to do this for awhile now and I've gotten more interested in doing it ever since I've seen the performance of recent released and soon to be released CPUs.
What I've got:
CPU : Intel Core i5-3570K
MOBO : MSI Z77A-GD65
RAM : 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1600MHz (4x4GB though different dual kits)
Cooler :Cooler Master Hyper 212+
PSU :Corsair HX750i
GPU : Palit GTX 1060 Jetstream 6GB
Case :Corsair Obsidian 750D
What I want to do:
1. Overclock the CPU further (priority: medium)
I've already overclocked the 3570K to 4.5 GHz (1.21v CPU Vcore). It's been stress tested and I've ran Prime95 Blend Test (I believe) for 12 hours and found no errors with the hottest core reaching 84c. If possible, I'd like to push things a little bit more onto 4.7 GHz. Now I know it's not a lot, and I'm sure some of you will tell me it's not worth it but if I still want to push it, what other settings should I look into? I've only touched the CPU Vcore voltage and the multiplier.
2. Overclock the RAM (priority: high)
I've been wanting to do some RAM overclocking since it's something I've never even try. Right now, the modules are running at 1600 MHz using XMP but I'd like to try and push it further to 2000 MHz or at least 1866 MHz. I'm not looking into adjusting the timings by the way but if you think it's worth it to tighten it, I'll give it a shot.
Current speed
Modules in channel 1 and 3
Modules in channel 2 and 4
3. Overclock the GPU (priority: low)
I'm not sure it's worth it but if I were to overclock the GPU, how would I do it with Pascal? In the Fermi days, if I wanted to overclock the GPU all I've ever set was the Core clock, Memory clock and set the GPU voltage in MSI Afterburner. Now, with the boost and everything I'm not so sure. Can you guys help me on this too?
If you guys need anything else (screenshots, etc) in order to help me, let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
