Just thinking that it might be useful if 8 Pack could put together a definitive guide to overclocking the I5-2500k CPU.

I for one would love some help and advice on getting a rock solid stable OC on my own I5-2500k which is paired with the popular Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H motherboard and Kingston HyperX 8Gb 2133Mhz Ram along with the Antec Kuhler H2O 920 CPU cooler and a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC 2Gb GDDR5 GPU.

A definitive guide to what voltages and frequencies are safe for the cpu, ram and GPU (if possible) etc would be awesome.
 
Thanks for that 8 Pack I wasn't expecting a response so promptly, especially since you've barely got your feet under your new desk...top man!

If you could put together some overclocking profiles for the board with different CPU's that would be awesome and help out a lot of folks on here I would imagine.

For reference, my memory is the following: KHX21C11T1BK2/8X
 
Very much appreciated 8 Pack, I look forward to reading your results :)

Your certainly going to find yourself very busy on here that's for sure! lol

Too true!!! I know this already guys. But I am pleased to help.

Good idea I will look at whats already been done and refresh.
 
Am I right in thinking that offset overclocking is the best way forward with the 2500K, as opposed to traditional old school fixed vcore overclocking? Certainly in terms of temps and voltage it seem's that it's the sensible way forward.
 
Cheers for the input 8 Pack, I don't mind doing the overclocking either way.

I just thought that vixed voltage overclocking was the ole' school way of doing things, and that Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge were better off on an offset overclock.

But having said that, I'm more than happy to go with which ever method you think is best for the 2500k....you are the Jedi Master when it comes down to all things overclocking mate :)
 
I know that you've been a very busy man since joining the Overclockers team 8 pack. But I was just wondering if you had made any progress with this at all yet?
