Is it safe to overclock a new build with a brand new core i5 2500K processor? A week ago my friend and I together built a brand new computer and the peripherals which I have used are as follows:
- Intel core i5 2500K
- ASUS Sabertooth P67 motherboard
- 8 GB Mushkin Blackline
- BeQuiet Dark Power Pro P9 750W
- Crucial 128GB SSD
- WD 500 GB 7200RPM HDD
- AMD HD 7970
I would like to overclock the processor which is currently at 4.2 GHz @ 1.210 vcore. I would like to reach at 4.7 GHz but does not want to adjust the Vcore. Is there any way of OC the processor without touching the Volts? Will it affect the CPU life?
