    Hi all,
    I have never overclocked before and i am looking to overclock my 3570k to 4.5ghz (thats what i'm thinking anyway). I don't know a whole lot about the overclocking world so a good guide or a link to one would be nice:). Heres the full spec of my pc.

    MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
    CPU
    Intel Core i3/i5/i7 @ 3.40GHz 24 °C
    Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology
    RAM

    Motherboard
    ASRock Z77 Pro3 (CPUSocket) 22 °C
    Graphics
    E2442 (1920x1080@60Hz)
    AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
    Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
    Hard Drives
    977GB Seagate ST1000DM005 HD103SJ ATA Device (SATA) 25 °C
    Optical Drives

    I wouldn't go much higher than 1.35v for a 3570k.

    You should be able to get at least 4.3 - 4.6ghz with that depending on your airflow and quality of silicon.

    I also have a Z77 board, along with an i5-3570k. Would I even need to change the voltages for a relatively small overclock to, say 4.0ghz?

    Probably you can just bump up the multiplier and it will be stable at 4.0 or even a bit higher. But don't be fooled - the core voltage WILL be higher even if you didn't change any setting because the CPU itself can adjust the voltage level. Basically the CPU will raise the voltage as the multiplier goes up, to guarantee stable operation.

    If you adjust the BIOS voltage settings, you can change that behavior to a fixed voltage (regardless of clock), or you can specify an offset voltage. With offset mode, the voltage is still adjusted by the CPU but your offset is added in on top. Most people can run with negative offsets at lower overclocks.
