Help overclocking i5 2500k
Hi Guys,
I just upgraded my computer yesterday and got an ASRock board. I went into the bios to do an overclock and it's one of those new types. I had a search (google) and i came up with a few threads about overclocking a i5 2500k and adjusted my settings accordingly.
But i don't know exactly what all the settings do and the average and upper limits to each setting.
Does anyone know if there is a guide about, specific to overclocking, that outlines all the bios options?
Also, as this is my first i5 setup, can anyone tell me if they throttle themselves? i.e. if it runs too much current or too hot, will the processor lower it's clocks automatically?
Thx
Edit - I'm having problems at the moment where i can get to 4.8Ghz stable on load at 1.35-1.375 (don;t know how to get it to stop fluctuating) but as soon as it goes back to idle it crashes.
