Hello! Just wondering if anyone has the settings for it. I have an i5-3570k @ 3.4GHz. Thanks for your help!

LOL, what exactly do you want this motherboard to do?

You can overclock the cpu and make it 40% faster.

Is this what you're asking about?:whiste:

The auto overclock button gave me 4.22GHz (41 x 103 MHz) and that was rock solid. For fun I refined where I unlocked the cores and did 1core = 42, 2 and 3 = 41 and 4 = 40 keeping the FSB at 103. I could go higher but what's the point?

I have the same combination, and I use the win7 utility to bump all cores to 4.2, and was even able to decrease stock voltage (1.15 I think) and it runs very stably. The BIOS auto-overclock bumps bclk and voltage too high for my taste, which burns power and shortens life unnecessarily. Leave all the BIOS settings to AUTO and use the utility for easier overclocking since you can go straight to stress tests. Assuming of course this is the OPs intended question. "Optimal" BIOS settings are very dependent on what you're doing and what your goals are.
