Forum Overclocking : General Discussion New to Overclocking

Word :    Username :           
 

I'm a noob to overclocking. Currently I am running:

I5-2500K Intel 3.3GHz Sandy Bridge Processor

Asrock Extreme3 Gen 3 Motherboard

G. Skill 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM

Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Cooler

OCZ ZT Series 650W Modular PSU

PNY Geforce 550ti SLI

Corsair 90GB SSD

Seagate 250GB HDD

First Question... Is there a detailed guide for OC on the I5-2500k?

Second question... Do I need 1800 or 2133 MHz memory in order to OC the CPU?
