Hi
Can anyone help me to overclock my intel i7-3770 cpu
My computer had software to do this when new but it has been removed when fresh windows 10 was installed.
I looked in bios but nothing found to be available.
Thankyou

Unless you have made a typo, your processor cannot be overclocked.

Additionally, it is discontinued and not supported.

Thankyou for your reply.
How did you find this information please.
The original software allowed it to be overclocked but I cannot remember the name of the software.
Any suggestions please
Thankyou

Only X and K processors can be overclocked.  Yours is neither.

Thankyou for your help.
When I bought this computer new in 2012 it came with software installed to overclock the cpu.
So it could be overclocked in 2012.
But I'm unable to recover the software that was pre-installed.
Thankyou once again
