Hey I'm kind of new to OC'ing and my recent build I have a MSI P67A-G43 motherboard and a intel i5 2500k cpu I was wondering if anyone had a similar build where they had safe OCing settings with a air case not water cooled

Thanks all the help would be great

Hi I have the exact same components, firstly update the bios there a new C version.

In the bios turn off all the power saving crap such as
EIST
C1E
Phase control (green power)
spread spectrum

For a 4.5ghz clock
turn vcore up to 1.25v(my settings) can do 1.24, if no boot start @ 1.3v
leave vdroop alone
Assuming your memory is 1600 setup the timings accordingly 1.5v
