Hi can any one tell me how to overclock the following CPU. Intel Core i5 4690k with Asus Z97-A S1150 I'm new to building PC and was wondering it there is any step by step videos or forums.

What would be a safe limited to overclock to? would there be a noticeable difference in performance and gaming?

Will it make a difference to the graphics?

Is there a way of making the system boot up faster? Going to be running windows 7

I have a Coolmaster Evo 212 as a CPU cooler

Thanks :)

I pretty much just use the BIOS, but for newcomers to OCing, liek what the auto OCing offers, as it allows users to see what the auto OC changes to get an idea of what needs to be changed and can help you get to a 'preset OC' and then fine tune it from there

There are some good pc building tutorials on youtube (see Linus techtips ) another way to get a faster boot would be to install your operating system onto and ssd and then just use your hdd for storage.
