Overclocking i5 2500k for a newbie

Patrickman · 16 Nov 2011 at 23:22

Im really a newbie to overclocking (never overclocked anything) but hearing the i5 can be overclocked easily, encourages me to give it a shot

iv the

MSI P67A-GD53 (B3), Intel P67, ATX, DDR3
Intel Core i5-2500K Box, LGA1155
Corsair A70 (Sockel AM2/AM2+/AM3/775/1156/1366)

Im pretty sure you do the overclocking in the bios so can anyone advice me what to do please

When you get bored and want more, just ask.

Thanks stulid but I like the method of just pressing a button and overclocking

simple is the way for me

Unless going higher is easy too. I might give it a try
