Overclocking is done in the BIOS of the motherboard. By selecting the multiplier and voltage, one can overclock an unlocked CPU by a certain amount within the limitations of of the chip and other factors like the cooling and power delivery.

With that being said, in order to overclock your 2500k you will need a Z series board. Your H series board does not include an overclocking function in the BIOS. There used to be ways around this but Intel has since put a cork in that loophole.

There are plenty of video tutorials online that would suit you best to learn how to overclock. You need to get a Z series first though.

Try Throttlestop software. It works from Windows.
