Hello everyone

as you can see from the title I want to Overclock i5-4670k with Seidon 120v Cooler Master but my motherboard support 4GHz and above ... ( I have no experience )

Motherboard : AsRock Z97 Pro4

should i download a software to overclock it and what is the overclocking limit for this liquid cooler (Seidon 120v Cooler Master)

I need a simple explaining because that's my first time overclocking my CPU

thanks ^^,

First of all don't expect anything crzy Seidon 120v is a low performance water cooler, Cooler Master 212evo si the same as the Seidon 120v.
Second of all, You will need these programs :
HWmonitor - to monitor temperatures and voltages
Cpu Z - to check the clock speed
Prime95 - to stress the cpu out

Overcloking is done in the BIOS and its done by rising the multiplayer, and raising the voltage.
So restart you computer and press the key that you need to enter the bios.
Turn off all the power saving options and go to the advanced bios you should see a CPU frequency multiplayer, raise it by one adding 100mhz save the settings boot into your desktop check the speeds in Cpu Z and run Prime95 for 10-15mimutes while watching the temepratures...

Overcloking is time consuming so be ready to spend an hour or two in the BIOS, best of luck!

Yes Aida64, intel burn test, linx64.
But no prime95 version 28.0 and higher, because it will make your temps getting to the roof.
