When overclocking, how do you know when to bump up the Volts?
1 replies, posted
Also a second question, when overclocking (for example) an i5 2500k, do you just bump up the freq/multi to whatever you want (like 4.5/45/4500)? Or are there other settings you should enable/disable?
The only reason i'm asking this is because i'm soon to upgrade my pc and i'm going to get a board capable of OC'ing and i've never OC'd before and i'm sitting here with a cpu capable of being a beast and i'm not using it's full potential.

When you realize you're CPU is unstable after raising the clock speed. Be careful to keep track of your CPU's temperature and stability with Prime95 and HWMonitor.
