I have an asus mobo, in the bios you can set the cpu to Turbo mode or something where it auto configures it for better performance
As for memory, according to speccy:
Memory
Type DDR3
Size 16384 MBytes
Channels # Dual
DRAM Frequency 680.0 MHz
CAS# Latency (CL) 11 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) 11 clocks
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 11 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 28 clocks
Command Rate (CR) 1T
Also I don't get why it reports my cpu as having hyperthreading but disabled...
Code:Cores 4 Threads 4 Name Intel Core i5 3570K Code Name Ivy Bridge Package Socket 1155 LGA Technology 22nm Specification Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz Family 6 Extended Family 6 Model A Extended Model 3A Stepping 9 Revision E1 Instructions MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, Intel 64 Virtualization Supported, Enabled Hyperthreading Supported, Disabled Fan Speed 1305 RPM Bus Speed 102.0 MHz Stock Core Speed 3400 MHz Stock Bus Speed 100 MHz Average Temperature 46 °C
As far as I know all LGA1155 boards with a "K" CPU installed will have Turbo Mode available. If it is disabled the CPU will run at 3.4GHz all the time. When enabled it will step down to 1.6GHz under low load and ramp up to 3.8GHz when turbo kicks in.
Overclocking raises the turbo frequency to what ever the system is set at and can run in a stable fashion.
Have you refreshed your WEI since you OC'd? Also, the capacity of the RAM means less than speed......1600MHz RAM will generally get you to a 7.8, anything above 1600MHz will bump up to a 7.9.
vgchat: The 3570K doesn't support Hyperthreading, the i7-3770K does. That's why it is disabled.
Looks like Ibuypower Overclocked it slightly. Change the bus speed back to default 100 before using turbo. Check for xmp for your ram in the bios. As far as hyperthreading, no your I5 doesn't have it, that's why it's greyed out. Fill in your system specs and we can help you overclock it through bios using turbo
