2500k Overclocking Advice please!

[legodude]

Hello I could really do with help overclocking my 2500k, 

 

this system is in my sig and I have no idea where to begin, I know the very basics of overclocking on 1155 however there are so many settings and switches on my motherboard for eco this and turbo that I don't know what to turn off and what to leave on.

 

any help would be most appreciated

Should answer your questions, but if there is more, just ask

I just watched this video I posted this, but I have so many setting on my mobo I don't quite understand if I should turn off or not.

In addition to the video from Linus, may I also reccommend TTL's overclocking guide for LGA 1155, it is also more in-depth.

 

 

If you think a guide showing the bios you are running is more helpful I also found this:

Basically it boils down to this.

• Go into the bios, and raise the multiplier by 1
• Boot into Windows and test for stability while monitoring your temprerature. (I think Linus showed that in the video)
• If it is stable, repeat the process
• If it's unstable (Freezing or BSoD) go into the bios and raise the core voltage by 0.005.
• Repeat the above steps untill you hit around 75C on the hottest core.

This is the basic guide to overclocking.

It also depends on the chip whether it's a dud, average or nicely binned. 4ghz-4.2ghz is really easy to hit on the 2500k. After a certain point, the voltages start going up dramatically. YMMV
