Hello there,
I might have crossed a line that I shouldn´t have but I can still go back if that´s what you guys suggest me.
I have recently built my first hackintosh with top notch components, the main ones: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard and Intel i7-3770(without a K) processor. My setup worked almost instantly and it´s very robust so far.
I was reading success builts and setups from others and after seeing some of them, one of the settings I played with in my BIOS was:
I changed the clock ratio to 35 and each of the individual Turbo ratios to the maximum possible(if I remember correctly it was something like 43, 43, 42 & 41 respectively). After changing doing that my Geekbench changed from +-14400 to +-15500
My question is. Am I doing something not intended for the type of CPU I have(i7-3770) and risking some damage, or this setting is OK to adjust it the way I have eventhough my CPU is not intended for overclocking?
Thank you very much,
Boga
