    Ok, so I thought I'd give overclocking ago, but wanted to check in here first so I knew what I was doing first.

    I have the i5 2500k CPU, but only have a stock cooler which is pretty decent, my CPU has yet to gone above 40degrees (playing Minecraft Maxed with 256x TP) and it stays around 25degrees idle.
    I've heard I can overclock to 4.3Ghz with the stock. I don't want to buy an expensive cooler yet as I want to see how much of a benefit overclocking is.

    So, how do I overclock? I was looking on the application that came with the motherboard and there is overclocking options there, how do I work them?
