I have a new pc on the way and I am wanting to overclock the cpu.  Nothing too crazy though.  I'm not familiar with ASRock overclocking in BIOS, and I'm wanting to make sure I go about doing this the right way and don't screw anything up.  The specs of my build are as follows:

ASRock Z270 Killer SLI/AC

i5-7600k

16GB DDR4-2400

Corsair H60

1000W PSU (Overkill, but I got a good deal on it)

GTX 1080 Ti

 

If anybody could provide some sort of easy to follow guide on overclocking with ASRock BIOS, or even tested/stable settings, I would be grateful.  I am only looking to go to 4.3-4.5, so nothing too insane.  Please help!  Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and respond.

What PSU model? Also might have cooling issues.

Do I need to mess with voltage or anything like that?  On my old pc, there was a "one touch overclock" option where I just clicked it and the mobo automatically overclocked to something stable.  I was wondering if this motherboard offered something similar, since I'm not totally sure on how to mess with voltages and things like that.

Ok then.

 

Just change the multiplier one at a time until it isn't stable. Then, reset CMOS and try again. Keep going until you hit a reasonable OC.

Sounds good.  I'm not sure that I understand how to use the BIOS in this system, so I might have to check some video tutorials or something.  Hopefully this is as easy as it seems... also, no one button to automatically overclock to a reasonable level?
