Hey forum I recently bought myself a cooler for my CPU so I can overclock. I bought the Coolermaster Hyper TX3 Evo. Only problem is I have no idea how to overclock. I would like someone to please guide me step by step on how to overclock my CPU (someone very patient :) ). I have a MSI ms 7680 MOBO.

Thanks Forum I know I can count on the awesome people here to help <3

A very brief Google result brought me more than an abundance of things to look at.

google "sandy bridge guide" (it should automatically and probably bring up OC guides)

Don't just read one, read MANY of them, (as motherboards label/call things differently)

 

Once your used to the terminology, it makes it 1000x times easier to follow/manage/tweak/finalize.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
