Can anyone link me to a tutorial on how to overclock my hardware? Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated!
 


I also have the i5 4670K and I have used the info in this thread to get it up to 4.7 GHz: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1722630/intel-god-quick-dirty-guide-4ghz-haswell.html
Very simple, easy to follow steps to OC.

Good luck!
