Your setup includes an I5 2500K with integrated GPU. Overclocking it with just a cooler tower and two heat pipes seems risky—ensure the cooling is adequate for the increased load.

Keep an eye on the temperatures and avoid letting it cook slowly.

They have a stable voltage around 1.52, which should comfortably exceed 5GHz given their typical performance. Keep temperatures below 90°C and processing under 80°C for best stability. You might manage to control the GPU through XTU if needed.
