I wouldn't really recomennd it. If you overclock you really would want a better cooler.

You should be able to do 4.2ghz without issue. It will get loud under load though.

3770K turbos to 3.9GHz, so overclocking to 4GHz won't achieve much.

Remember turbo only works when tdp/temp allows, so an overclock would be more consistent. Either way, not a good idea on stock cooler

Bad idea... And turbo works based on cores used. If 1 then 3.9 if 2 then 3.8, 3 3.7, 4 3.6.

If you have no idea how to overclock on top of that then you your asking for trouble.

You certainly should get a better cooler if you plan on overclocking.

I am sure if you can afford a 3770k you can afford to buy a decent cooler.

What do you want to OC for anyway ? If it's just gaming I'd doubt you'd see a drastic change between 3.8ghz (turbo) and 4ghz. But on that MVG if you're pushing 4.5 at least, then we're talking. Get a decent aftermarket cooler. MVG + 3770k stock is a criminal waste.....

I wouldnt OC on stock cooler.

Also there is probably no reason to OC so little for zero gain.

Edit: sure overlocking is fun but get an aftermarket cooler and do some research before you do it for the first time.

I would get a better cooler just because lower temps=lower power consumption. Which makes overclocking easier.
