Hello all, I am new to overclocking and I am going to attempt to overclock my 3770K this weekend.  The only part in the guide I am not 100% sure of (and understand) is the memory settings.  I am not sure what to do, or what to put there.  The memory I have is:
 
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM (PC3 12800)
 
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks!

Hello Jacob awesome job with this tutorial you really help a lot thanks for the time dedicated...
 
Wich bios you were using for this test? 1.07 or 1.10

Post EVGA E-LEET Memory Section Picture...

So and you have RAM problem and of course again 4 sticks.
I can't see from this pictures like your RAM work on 1333MHz I think.
When no screenshot on software than best way is Printscreen >
Paint type CTRL+V Save As PNG File, open that with Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Crop only software. Save than and open some program like Imgur, upload that little file and you have Insert Edit Image. Than show only that and picture is bigger.
 
Try XMP 1 to load, if you can't load XMP1 you must try manual first to boot on 1600 than on 1866 ... you must to look on your memory specification too. Latency for your memory are
11-11-11 27. On lower speed you can probably to set less latency but on higher maybe you need to set manual more higher latency. I think best way for you because that is Vengance...don't tuch latency. Try how much speed you can, first with XMP 1, that manual. That is not some super speed super overclocker RAM, that's excellent RAM for daily use but our board have problems with much better RAM, people can't set memory in specification for 4 modules. 
2133MHz 11-11-11 27 2T is some ideal set for your RAM.
If XMP fail than you must Manual to set same if it's unstable than lower 1866,...

 
Apparently I am not attaching the images correctly since I cannot enlarge them to be able to read them.
 

Edit:  I finally had to call EVGA tech support.  They had me switch to the second BIOS on the switch and all is normal now.  I won't try overclocking again until I am more qualified.

Thanks for trying to help me.  I have not had time to get back to it until now.  But obviously I am not qualified to be messing around with this.  I messed it up so bad that windows would no longer boot.  I reset the CMOS, restored defaults, saved (F10) and restarted but windows still would not boot after multiple tries.
 
I am currently loading a backup and hopefully that will get things back to normal.
 
I will give up on it until I am better qualified for this.
 
Thanks again

This guide is great, however, my CNPS12X isn't performing like I thought it would, or my thermal pasting job was not good enough.
 
With prime95, stock settings, I get around 80c with prime95...
 
Once overclocked, in a few seconds of prime95 and my temps  jump 100c degrees.  It has me seriously considering watercooling...

 
@Jacob
I have nearly the same build as the one shown in this guide. The only difference is I'm running 2 evga 670 FTW's instead of the 680 in the picture. So if I follow this guide, step by step, this presumably should work without ANY hickups, and kick my computer to a 4.6ghz overclock right?
 
I've never OC'd before, so I'm kind of nervous to just jump into the bios and start changing stuff I'm not familiar with on my 3000 dollar gaming computer, that I am NOT in the mood to troubleshoot or RMA if I screw something up lol :P
 
Edit: Also, how might I go about pushing those 670's a little harder? They're at their stock clocks.

im not able to set my cpu vcore to manual, i have my bios to 1.12. it will just stay on auto and i cant change it, is there a step im missing to do so?

I select place where is Auto and tip numbers., than if need more or less after restart I use + or -
and correct little with EVGA ELEET in Windows if need...

after you done ocing do you want to turn off turbo mode????

thanks dude
 

Even i put the CPU multiplier to 50, i onlt get 4.989Ghz and i notice that my bus speed is 99.97... how can i make it to 100.3 ? thanks

That is not possibile!!! If you see my is same. 
You can raise in ELEET under Overlocking BCLK from 100.0 to 100.3 with slider than Bus Speed 100MHz but than problems starts
Freezing in games, on desktop, driver stop working....
 
If you have lucky you have finished some test and show 5000MHz but that's it.
Problems will start soon or after restart... and only way is to back on 100.0 and 99.7 reading.

4.9GHz is high clock. I can't too, but I have high temps.
I can't imagine temps on 1.400V with my CPU.
