Intel i7-4770K - ASUS Z87 Sabertooth 24/7 OC

[Lloyd_mcse]

I'm going to go through some of the OC settings I'm using on my i7-4770K and Sabertooth setup.
It's nothing extreme, just a nice performance increase while trying to keep heat and therefore noise to a minimum.

Intel i7-4770K
ASUS Sabertooth Z87 BIOS v1405
16GB Corsair Vengeance LP Black DDR3-1866 (2x8GB)
2x Corsair Force 3 120GB RAID 0
2x WD Black 1TB RAID 0
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclock ACX
ASUS Xonar DX PCI-E
Corsair H100i CPU Cooler
Corsair AX860i
Coolermaster CM-690 II USB 3.0

EIST – Off
Turbo - On
CPU Ratio – 42 (42x100 - 4.2GHz)
DDR Frequency - 1600MHz
Core Voltage - Auto (giving me 1.198v)
Min Cache Speed - 39
Max Cache Speed - 42 (locking it at 4.2GHz)

These settings have given me a nice stable 24/7 overclock, while my Corsair H100i Fans are locked at 1000Rpm using Thermal Radar.

Some other settings I have changed…

System Agent Config -> CPU Audio Device -> Disabled
System Agent Config -> NB PCIe Config -> Gen 3
System Agent Config -> Graphics Config -> Primary Display -> PCIe

Bit of an update, as with the newer BIOS versions I have been able to use the 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP Black DDR3-1866 (2x8GB) at 1866MHz.
