OverClocking

First off, to make it easier for everyone, list your computer's box setup.
If you don't know the stuff, run that CPU-Z.
Although I found Google to be more helpful or the big overclocking forums.
Box setup? Its the i5 750, originally clocked at 2.67GHz
Yes Ive tried the forums and I couldnt find any help on the biggest one, just people saying what theyve done, I do google
My motherboard is Asus P7P55D
Case, Power supply, Motherboard, Memory, CPU Stepping (might be handy) and anything else in your case. I can’t help you on overclocking a i5 but I can figure out the problems such as heat etc.
A picture of your case might be handy.
You do want to prepare for a long term overclock so its good to make sure your rig is up for it.
Check the motherboard OEM’s support site for updates on Bios fixes and look at them for benefits.
Answer #5
Case : Currently Coolermaster 330(?) Elite soonto be Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus
PSU: Antec TruPower 750W
Motherboard: P7P55D
Mem: Corsair Dominator DDR3 4GB of Ram, 770.4 MHz
CPU Stepping: 5
2 Fans 120mm, some more when in new case
Alot of crowding in case, mid tower so is taken up alot by cpu cooler and wires
Answer #6
You should really check out the guide I’ve posted above.
There isn’t a right way to go about overclocking. You need to experiment.

See how that is allot helpful.
With some additions, list the actual rated memory speed instead of its current settings. Being that, the model will be nice as there are loads of models within the Dominator series. From the looks of it, you need a bit of cable management, so you should buy some cable ties even if your newer case will have their own cable things. Try to picture in your mind how the setup will circulate the airflow and figure out a way to minimize the restriction.
See the most common problem about some setups let alone overclocking, have terrible airflow management, the biggest concern is not the main hardware, but the voltage regulators.
Answer #8
His motherboard is fine. The P7P55D series can do around 200BCLK just fine
Answer #9
Everything is normal accept the oc bios program I ran, that changed it to 3.27Ghz
Voltages are the same so I dont see why that would be a problem, cable management needs to be sorted but its not effecting much,
I looks at the guide and yeah I dont want to mess with the settings too much, Id just like it if someone can tell me what to change?
Thanks

just like it if someone can tell me what to change?
That’s the thing, I’m not expert from but what I’ve been reading online and tried myself you need to test what settings are best for you, Not much we can do tbh.
Answer #11
First of all, you should quit using the software that come with the motherboard and go into the REAL BIOS and change settings. I guess you’re the TLDR type that doesn’t want to read a tutorial. Guess what? I could give you values like 200BCLK, 8x memory, 16x (or 17x) uncore, 1.35v for the CPU and I could tell you that you would get 4GHz with it. It might or might not work for you. Overclocking isn’t all black and white. The same settings that work for some have no guarantee that they would work for someone else. There’s too many factors involved. You need to first understand the terminology and the theory. You need to set your target and then work for it. There will be BSODs and a lot of other things if it’s your first time doing this. Don’t worry about it.
I looks at the guide and yeah I dont want to mess with the settings too much, Id just like it if someone can tell me what to change? If that’s the case then you should find another hobby
