Hey, I'm new to the overclocking scene.

I just built a new gaming rig and wanted to know if my parts are good enough to get my clock speeds to 4.5GHz or higher.

So here are my parts.


Processor: Intel i5 2500K
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
RAM: x2 - Corsair Vengeance Series 4GB DDR3-1600
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100
Case: NZXT Phantom Full Tower


How does it look?

Also, what programs should I be looking up so I can monitor my temps?

4.5ghz is fairly common, so probably.

I wrote a guide that might be of help.

Your components have the hardware capability to reach 4.5ghz as long as you have the knowledge to get 4.5ghz from them.

Pretty excited, my first time to OC.

I almost have the same core components as you. Here's how I hit 4.5Ghz at 1.32V:
