Hey,
so I recently bought an entire new pc. It runs quite well as it is at the moment but I know it can go quicker. I want to overclock my i5 - 3570k because I know I can. I'm fairly nooby at hardware but I'm a lot better at software, which is why I'm asking for advice. I have a 'Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 45.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler' and I've covered the CPU in thermal paste. Also, how would I overclock on my mother board 'Gigabyte GA-B75M-HD3 Micro ATX LGA1155'?

Thanks in advance,
Jack.

Sorry, but you cannot overclock the CPU on that motherboard. Overclocking of the CPU is limited to the 'Z' chipset boards, in this case either a Z77 or Z75 chipset, as opposed to the B75 chipset you have.
