Hi,
I wish to overclock my CPU. I have never done this before.
I understand the best way is to enter BIOS settings and do it from there.

Specs:

Intel Core i7 3770k 8M Cache
zalman CNPS11X
Asus Maximus V Gene

Samsung 24" 1080p
Corsair C70
Corsair 750W
(4x) Kingston 4GB DRR3 1600MHz
Seagate Sata 500GB
Gigabyte HD 7870 2GB DDR5 OC
Windows 8 Pro 64bit

I would like to know how to do this, what values to set and if it is a good idea at all.
I would prefer a safer setting because my PC is fairly new.
Also any other helpful advice would be appreciated.
