I need to overclock my CPU!!!
I need to overclock my CPU!!!
Overclocking the base clock affects not just the CPU but also other components relying on it, making this process quite challenging. Since each system behaves differently, solutions that help one person may not apply to another.
It's feasible, though challenging. You'll need to perform a base clock overclock. I recommend reviewing some documentation about it, since it's not as straightforward as using a K-series CPU.
The cooler is fine. It should suffice for your i5-6500.
However, before you start purchasing coolers, check if base clock overclocking is an option. You might be able to adjust it before buying, and if successful, you could secure a cooler.
I've attempted base clock overclocking, but I think I didn't give it enough attention, so it didn't work for me.

After the base clock, do I need to overclock it or is the base clock itself a method of overclocking? I came across a video on YouTube that might be helpful.
