Hi, I just recently installed the i5-4690k CPU on my Maximus VII Hero motherboard. I'm using a h80i Corsair cooler.

Can I overclock it right away or do I have to wait some time?

Also, how would I overclock it? I'm relatively new to this sort of thing. I want to get around 4.4 GHz

Here's the rest of my specs:

i5-4690k
ASUS Maximus VII Hero motherboard
Kingston HyperX 8gb RAM
ASUS GeForce GTX 980
Corsair TX 650 watts
