hello again guys.......
again i ended up with a new serious problem......
my specs are
1.i5 3570k
2.asrock z77 extreme4
3.2x4gb ddr3 corsair vengence
4.ati 6670 1gb ddr5
5.corsair gs600
6.cooler master hyper evo 212 cpu cooler

so i was going to overclocking my 3570k.......at 4.2ghz
i only change those settings to OC (at bios)
1.cpu ratio-all core
2.all core-42
3.power saving mode-disabled
4.cpu core voltage-offset mode
5.offset voltage-(-.065v)
6.cpu load line callibration-level 5

after that
when i start windows (win 8)
my graphics driver stopped working,frequently computer hanging and a lots of f*** BSODs but prime95 test passed (in 10 minutes test)
so
am i doing proper overclock ? or cpu needs extra offset volt?
please give a full simplified tutorial for how to oc my i5 3570k on my asrockz77 extreme4 at 4.2 to 4.4ghz.......and it'll be better if anyone give me a video tutorial or pics than text......
plzzzzzzzzzz help me guys i want to oc my i5 badly....

change LLC to 3.

Edit: for 4.4 try this:

Multiplier 44
Turbo Voltage: auto
PLL Overvolt: Disabled
IGPU Overclock: Disabled

Power Saving: Disabled
Offset: -0.080
LLC: 3

Everything else on auto/default... make sure RAM is stock timings, stock voltage

Disable C3/6/States
Disable Multi-GPU/Render Standbys

These are somewhat "modest" on mine, so they *should* work even if your CPU/Mobo is a bit worse than mine

Your voltage is too low. You need to reduce the negative offset (make it closer to zero, like -0.015V or some such), or possibly you will need to make it a positive value offset (like +0.015V, etc).

here's my 24/7 4.2GHz config... yes RAM is overclocked, and undervolted.

no dude it doesn't work for me........
i used your 4.2ghz config minutes ago.....(except ram overclocking & undervolting)
but pc crashes in startup by bsod......
will increasing volt will increase temperature??? what will effects of increasing volts?? then i should try in positive value volts.......

increasing voltage will increase temperature, the higher the overclock, the more it will make a difference.

What's a "stable" voltage/clock you have done?... if you can find a minimum voltage for a stable clock, you should be able to judge how high you can go.

Higher the vcore/overclock the higher the temps.

Try just using a offset of -0.005v's to start and see what happens. If it's stable then just try dropping the offset some more. If not stable just bump it up to +0.005v's and try again. Bumping about 0.010v's up or down at a time to dial in your required vcore.
