This depends on what BIOS software your motherboard has. If it's the Award BIOS, use the "motherboard intelligent tweaker", the top left option. You'll find something relating to a ratio or multiplier here. Adjust this to set the clock. The 2500K has 33x for the default clock, if I recall. To overclock, use a number greater than 33. To underclock, use a number less than 33. With overclocking may come voltage changes. I don't exactly know the methods for overclocking, but I know that a lower voltage is optimal. Thus, use the lowest voltage you can for your clock speed and still keep system stability. The higher the overclock, the higher the voltage needs to be. Do not exceed 1.5 volts. Stay under 1.4 if at all possible. The default is 1.3, if I recall.
