whats best OC spec for this.i em XMP with high performance on at 1833htz. Anyone have luck on pushing this thing without puching to hard????

I bought a 2x8 1600 and could not push it any further than 1866 increasing v and cl, stable but dissapointed with patriot oc, had a 2x4 kingston blue 1600 that could reach 2133 1,65 cl11 or cl12 i dont remember, heatsink in this patriot series is a toy, get a 2x8, its better for OC

Great!! I never overclock because I have some sort of worry about it (I have before though and it is great!) and from by experience its perfectly fine without overclocking.

Hello, I have had no problems at all with the MB, however, I do notice that the north bridge chip gets very hot under load. I installed an internal fan to cool it down a little bit (Antec SpotCool System Cooler), but it still runs over 60° when playing. Anyway, no problems at all (so far...) . And for my cpu I have a cooler master Hyper TX3 which did make a huge difference compared to stock fan ( Phenom II X4 965 - from 65° down to 56° average under load )

I have no idea , I bought the beast just because it was the first one to come for the best price. Did you compare the stats on them besides MHz? Mine work fine, and have had no problems with them. Just remember to have a 64 bit OS or you will not be able to to get the full speed out of them

I have this memory running on an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z with an FX-8350, it runs at the full speed 2400MHz. No issues at all.

If your motherboard can support the FX series CPUs then they might be worthlooking into. Myself I'm very happy with the Phenom II X4 965.This thing is more than fast enough for my needs even at thestock 3.4Ghz speed. I had it overclocked to 4.0Ghz for awhileand had no issues with overheating or stability running WINXP PRObut some games, GTA IV for example would cause BSODs so I justset it back to stock speed and it works great.

Yes, very much so. The K at the end of the product number is Intel's way of signaling this. I run mine at 4.6GHZ for hours on end. Very easy to overclock. I did find and odd thing with the "enhanced speed step" used on this chip with my X79 Mobo and ASUS X79 Deluxe. Enhanced speed step came "enabled". I was getting really poor performance with parallel processing using all four cores at max demand. This was strange, it was slower then my old laptop. I then switched off enhanced speed step and it flew like crazy. It left my laptop in the dust. I now keep enhanced speed step set to "auto" or "off". Many people say speed step does not matter - enhanced speed step on this setup does make a huge difference, if you don't mind paying for the electric to run it.

Hello, The speed they run at out of the box will depend on your motherboard and BIOS settings. More than likely, they will default to 1333Mhz. These modules do have a XMP (Xtreme Memory Profile?) profile. This is basically a preset configuration that tells your BIOS what speed and voltages to run at. Simply boot into your BIOS, browse to your Memory configuration page, and select the XMP profile for these modules. They should set their speed, timings, and voltages appropriately.

Hi Jason, The DRAM Voltage can be adjusted in the BIOS of your system. The default specification of the memory is 1.5V and the XMP 1600 profile runs at 1.65V. So it should be able to run at 1.65V without an issue. Although, there is no guarantee that it will work properly with other RAM. Thank you for using HyperX memory. -Jewel @ HyperX Technical Support

I'm not overclocking because i'm using it in a very small case, with almost no space to breath... but i'm pretty sure that in a standard itx case it can handle a little OC. Not anything crazy, as you just pointed.

This board will handle 2133 mhz and overclock it, it will handle up to and beyond 3000 mhz. What ram are you running?
954788
Yes, and I have successfully overclocked the the core to 4.5GHz (Turbo off, Cool 'n Quiet ON), with stock cooling, standard voltage--other people I know have reached 4.3GHz with standard cooling and voltage...has the added benefit of running @ 95W Max TDP. Six cores is all you need for gaming--don't know of a single game that uses more than 4-cores, actually...this is the cpu to buy

I use that ram on my this MB. I can confirm it works just fine. You just have to select the correct xmp profile to get it to run at 2400mhz

Yes, I am happy to say. I am running a i5 2500k OC'ed to 4.7Ghz routinely for the past 3 years with no problem at all. This MB has 2 PCIe slots which is i why I bought it. I've run a GTX 560, 2 GTX 660 in SLI, and now a single GTX 770. I have a 600 watt power supply which handled it all just fine. I can't say enough for this ASUS P8Z77-V LK. It was originally designed for the 3rd generation CPU's and will do fine with your 3770K and GTX 970. The issue on overclocking will be your CPU cooling. I bought an very popular Corsair air cooler for about $30 which enabled me to run routinely at 4.7Ghz. I recommend using the ASUS auto OC'ing software included to to begin with. The software and manual that ASUS provides is great. I also run 2 x 4 GB RAM sticks. This is an out standing MB for the price.

1amp or 1000 Ma is too weak with no headroom. What's your purpose? Is it a single! VxI=P

Yes, the Command Center bios works well for basic OC, but I have had trouble getting my 4770K stable over 4.1 GHz.

I will say that I OC'd this cpu to 3.9Ghz and it runs at 63°c with stock cooler. I think it's rated up to 90°c but I wouldn't run it that hot. Hope this helps out a bit.
