is all the ram the same and has there been any ram error's if you get a complete 16gb mem kit it should be consistant when you match different ram or the same ram but packaged in different boxes it can also cause bad results

it is 3 2gb sticks and 1 4gb stick, blame hp for the stupidity, i didnt even get an option for 12gb. when i get my new mobo, i iwll soon after upgrade to 4 sticks of 4gb 1600 ram by gskill

Yes, he is using an HP MoBo, which is why I stated here, that he had hit his ceiling.

Thornton, when you get your new rig, let us know. There are a lot of people here who can educate you on how to properly overclock. The first rule of Overclocking, make sure you have adequate cooling. And any adjustments made outside of the BIOS, via OS bound software, is dangerous and will result in damage and instability.

my new cooling is in most peoples op, overkill, atleast for air cooling, but i will admit, you cant hear it unless you are trying too. i think OCing from the bios will be much easier when i get my 3770k and my new mobo

i should ask, more because i can admit im too lazy to navigate the intel website, than because im incapable, what the recomended heat limit is for a 3770k, i understand they run hotter than AMDs, but have a stricter heat managment need

Thornton,
You're correct you'll have a whole new world of settings and options to push your rig. Like you'll have, I have 4x4 G.Skills @ 2133 and can only get 1866 currently but with a new processor I hope to max the 2133 mhz. speed and I'm sure that difference alone will blow my mind. Problem with the extra speed is you are quickly normalized to it and wanting more.

+1 rep! that is geniouse, i noticed that but never think of it, hopfully with my 3770k i will see some higher OCs also
