Hey peeps just got my first PC in about 6-7 years and would like to get back into tweaking systems. I used to be heavily into this back in the good ole days of AMD T-Birds. My system specs are in my sig and I've tried to do a little, but don't seem to be getting very far.

Now I do know from a little reserch that the 4770k's can be really hit or miss, but I'm at least hoping I can get 4.3-4.4 stable out of it. I tried a few steps out of a "Haswell Overclocking 101" from the NCIX.com YouTube page, but it didn't explain to much.

Some info like how much voltage can I put into this chip and other things like that would help immensely. Almost forgot to add I have it currently running at 4.0 with I think 1.16v into it. My Easytune mobo software is saying my CPU is at 20-21deg idle, and system temps in the low 30's.
