No need for overclocking man, that i7 2600k is on stock speed fast enough.
But what about cpu-z? If your cpu is throttling you should definitely turn that off in the bios.. it's no overclocking it's just turning off a setting in the bios. It's no rocket science, so don't be afraid to break something. Bios is just a menu with options, look for the option called "CPU EIST" and set it to "off". And use .iso instead of physical disks.
I had the same problems by the way, but i spend a lot of time messing with the settings/ and learning what they mean and somehow all my games run great right now.
