I just build my new rig specs are

RAM : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

and I am having trouble overclocking my CPU. This is the first time I build a computer and I am by no means a computer genius but I cant find any good guide or videos to overclock the i5 2500k. The motherboard itself brought some software but its complicated and I would like to know if there is another way to Overclock other than through that software.

I am not trying to overclock a lot maybe 4.1-4.5 something along those lines.

I did the stress test and idle temps are around 30c and full load at 49-50c

Please help me out! thanks!

welcome to the forums, newcomer!

have you tried checking the stickies here at the forums?
I'll save you the trouble;
1| I7 - 2600K / I5 - 2500K Overclocking Guide
2| Alternate Sandy Bridge K Series OCing Guide

The Black edition is a good contender for OC'ing that sandy bridge CPU. Hope the above guides help.

my 2 cents

I understand and I did try following both guides before I created this thread. The main reason why I created this posting is because those guides have nothing to do with my motherboard. The M.I.B III feature that my MOBO offers is not on those guides therefore making the information useless to me.

Thanks

mobo might be of another manufacturer, but the ram, QPI, IMC voltages are different?

 

[vik97]

No sir, my problem is that I cannot get to the options on the bios..because its so different. I have not found any help yet and I doubt I will...but thanks for the try

I worked with a ECS mobo. You can look in the MIB III tab of BIOS and also look into the north bridge and southbridge sections in the chipset tab

hope these help.
