i5-760 overclocking

[Alblue]

I have used the i5-760 for around 5-6 months now but can I still overclock? or is overclocking for new cpus?

Welcome to the forums, Alblue.

There is not an expiry date on overclocking!

If you post details of your hardware, in particular motherboard/BIOS and cooling, you might get some advice on overclocking settings for a nice boost in speed. Like many ppl here with i5-750 & 760, I run mine at 4GHz.

(BTW, although it is not a Nehalem core, the same principles apply - so see the sticky thread for Nehalem i7 overclocking.)
