i5 2500k and P8H67

[Puffncough]

Really new to OCing, just bought my i5 2500k 3.3ghz n Asus P8H67-M LE

I did some reading around and looked for some good software (I have Prime95 and CPU-Z )

I just want to make sure i'm doin this right if not at all, so I guess my first question would be can I even overclock with this motherboard? The BIOS settings seem a little confusing to me, I was able to run the Vcore (I'm guessing the CPU power) at around 1.5V, and my CPU never went higher then 40c-42c.

I'm thinking my temp isn't too bad. I can't tell, however, what my GHz is at (if I can even see a change in that ) What is a good program that can keep track of my performance as i'm tweaking around with my CPU.

I believe you cant OC with H67 chipset through the CPU multiplier, can you raise the multiplier in the bios ??

Under the "Ai tweaker" it allows me to change the voltage of certain things, turn turbo on/off ect. There is also a "ratio" setting which is default on auto, highest it can go to is 33 (??)

You can not properly overclock with a H67 chipset. I think you can fully use the Turbo mode and maybe change the FSB as much as it allows, not sure about that. Either way you're not gonna reach any high numbers.

CPU-Z can show you what core speed your CPU is running at in real time.

As others have said, you can't change the multiplier on the H67 MB's, so no overclocking for you.
