Overclocking my 2500k..

[shimaoful]

I don't know how to overclock besides changing the clock ratio inside the bios. Thats the only thing i changed from 3. something to 4.2 ghz on the cpu ratio. Every other voltage or fan option is on auto so I dunno if this is safe can someone please tell me if it is or what i need to do more?

Now you must stress test to make sure it's stable. Also make sure you keep an eye on CPU temperatures. Download Prime95 and test it for a couple hours. Above all make sure you have adequate cooling. High temps are bad and fry your system. Stay away from 55C and higher.
