Hello, This is my first time trying to OC so bear with me

I recently purchased a core i5 4670k and to cool it I am using a Cooler Master Seidon 120v
Will I be able to over lock and over volt the CPU to 4.2Ghz or over and if so how many volts should I use? OR should I leave the voltage on auto?

Thanks

First of all: Thumbs up for the best topic title today. ;)


Now to your question. 4.2GHz is reachable for almost all Haswell CPUs. I´d around 95% or so can reach it.
Everything above that depends on your draw in the silicon lottery. That includes heat output, needed voltage and max. overclock.

I suggest to set the voltages to manual. At least at first until you reached your desired overclock. Afterwards you can change it to adaptive.

Asus and many overclockers suggest to set the VCore to 1.2 and the multiplier to 46 and see what happens.
I personally would start at 42 with 1.2V. If it´s stable and at safe temperatures increase it to 43. Repeat this until it gets either unstable or too hot for your cooler.
If your cooler can handle...
