Core i5 2500k O.C
I'm currently at 3.3ghz and planning to overclock to 4ghz. Would it be possible to adjust the voltage without changing the standard settings? My system specifications are: Core i5 2500k, 3.3ghz, 8g gskill memory, ASUS P8H67M-Pro motherboard, GTX 650 Ti, CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ cooler.
Adjust the voltage manually, begin with a slight rise from your existing setting, then gradually raise the multiplier by one unit at a time.
the 2500k can smoothly reach 4.0ghz across all four cores without any major adjustments except for the multiplier. it also performs well on the stock intel cooler, and some models can achieve this even with a stock 1.20v vcore. almost every 2500k will hit at least 4.2ghz by simply adjusting the ratio, and the svid will automatically increase the vcore as needed, ensuring stability. this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t lower the vcore manually, but it will still work fine—just make sure proper cooling is in place.
Uncertain if the board is compatible with its H series design—could require a Z77 or Z67 if available used.
He noticed p67 and, if the board permits, he could reach 4.1ghz using turbo binning.

yes that is a good motherboard. but be careful you won't be able to use the intel onboard video output with that board. not really a problem if you're using a graphics card, unless you need it for a second monitor.
Thanks Bro, better than h67? i can o.c to 4.2 or 4.5?
