I5-2500k overclock

[Newbiekid]

After reading this guide,

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/265056-29-2600k-2500k-overclocking-guide

I am still abit confused. So the base multipler is like 33x100= 3.3ghz for my stock processor speed?

So if i want a 4.0ghz processor i have to set it as 40x100=4.0ghz

Is voltage for increasing more power to the CPU? So if i managed to overclock to 4.0ghz without changing voltage will the processor still be at the same temperature as stock?

My Computer specs are:

I5-2500k
MSI-P67A-C45
G.Skill Ripjaw X 2x2GB CL7
Noctua C12P

>>>>> You very well may be able to get to 4.0Ghz with the voltage still on auto, but your temperature will increase because a higher multiplier requires more voltage equaling higher output temperatures! FYI the 2500Ks sweet spot, at least mine is 4500Mhz but you'll never get that far on auto voltage, it takes manual settings to get there, but if 4.0Ghz is your goal leaving the voltage on auto will probably get you there.

Yes as Ry stated, you should be able to reach 4GHz with no trouble at all and without raising/changing your voltages. Temps will increase though as more power==more heat.

Do i have to disable turbo boost? Will there be a case that i OC to 4.0GHz then it turo to 4.4GHz and fails?

 

[Newbiekid]

Theres also a weird tickticktick noise coming from the inside of the case after i disabled and enabled the Stated settings. Is anything wrong?

 

[Renders]

I run 4.2Ghz all day auto-tuned with this set-up.

I would personally disable turbo boost, but that is a preference thing for me. All it does is automatically down clock when you are in an idle state(by you i mean your computer of course, ) Is the ticking from your hard drives or have you narrowed it down to a specific part or piece of hardware? OCing should not cause a ticking sound unless maybe something is caught in your fans? If its your hard drives, you might wanna start doing a backup now and your drives could be susceptible to failure and would result in data loss...

^ 2nd that!

The sound is coming from the PSU, But i cant find the cause still.

its something like this

I have also heard i am not the only one with this clicking noise, so is the best option to change it?

If you just bought the PSU then RMA it, if not, then buy a new one. I would say open it up but there alot of things I personally couldnt tell what to do with inside of the PSU.

but for clarification incase anyone can help, is it a ticking or a clicking? clicking might mean your caps are weak. ticking, well, i dont know what the hell that could mean. Sorry if this is not helpful enough.

Its ok Thanks anyway =). I brought it back to the shop and the technician was away.When i came back they show me it was working, i plugged it into my com moments ago and it was alright.

Good Deal
Let us know how the OC turns out!
