I've got a 3770, which I OC as well. I have it OC to 41x and 43x on turbo, getting me right at about 4.3. How are you getting 4.4? Are you increasing the BLCK? If so, are you able to run it stable (I've tried overclocking the BLCK but it would always end up causing stability problems).

I'm using the Biostar TZ75B board, which uses the Z75 chipset. The Bios makes overclocking pretty straightforward.

Also a long time reader and first time poster. I have the i7-3770 non-k version, and I have been able to overclock it to between 4.3 and 4.4 by doing a couple of things. First, the multiplier is only partially locked, such that you can change the default 35x to 41x in the bios depending on...
