Right I have just built my new pc and I would like to try a bit of CPU overclocking, I have read through the fac on here but tbh I am still at a bit of a loss with it and don't want to ruin anything.

So really just looking for a bit of a basic advice to maybe up the cpu to 4/4.2.

spec is-

i5 3570k
phanteks cooler
corsair vengeance 14900 (1866) ram
gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH mobo
2x evga gtx 680's sc sig 2
corsair AX750 psu
 
Cheers for the help. I put the multiplier up to 40 and then did an intel burn test and it passed fine, I never even touched the vcore so I guess that means if it's stable at the original vcore and with a multiplier of 40 then I'm on the right tracks?
 
Ah thanks it was set to auto!!

I currently have it at 1.250vcore @ 4.2Ghz and that passes intel burn at max with a top core temp of around 51 so I think I could definitely go higher but for now everyday I think that will do me :D Idle is at 22.
