Hey everyone, this is going to be my first attempt at overclocking. I have no idea what I'm doing or where I should even start... I could use some help/suggestions. Also, what is a stable speed to overclock to on a i7-2600k? I don't want to push my system since I'm not too experienced, I just want the fastest speed I can get without any risk to frying my CPU/MOBO. Do I need to overclock through BIOs? or Does RoG Boards have tools I can use from Windows?

Apparently I also need to overclock my Memory Sticks as well since they're 1600s and P67 only runs at 1333 without OCing? I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

You can do some preliminary testing with the Turbo EVO function in the AI Suite (on the included CD-ROM). You can set sliders for the core voltage and the multiplier here on the fly with the OS running, so you don't have to reboot each time (unless you overdo it and BSOD D: ).
