I can't tell you how many times I had to reset my BIOS cause it wouldn't boot from an unstable OC.
Also overclocking is pretty easy. Its all a trial and error process. If your MOBO supports overclocking. You will want to increase the multiplier a bit. Its not recommended to have the voltage on auto for this. That's what I remember anyways. So basically you want to fool around with the clock speed and voltage. Set the clock speed to what you want. Try 4.0GHZ or something at first and see how it does. If its overheating and you don't notice things working smoothly. Such as rand weird mouse skips and other oddities. It means its unstable and want to raise the voltage a notch up.
Its also a good idea to know what the safe voltage is for your CPU. You can easily look that up. Just don't ever go ever that and you will be fine.
As I said it is a time consuming process. So good luck

I havent' looked at my own thread here for a while...
I have been considering overlocking, and know how to do it, so maybe I will. Or maybe just buy a better CPU...
I would like to mention something, earlier I mentioned my procent of GS when playing, and mentioned it was around 80-90% but that was a mistake, a virus had done something to my pc, so the % is a lot smaller than that... I should however mention that reinstalling to fix this virus didn't do anything to the speed. But just felt I needed to say that. Well maybe I will buy a better CPU;-)

what virus ? how do you know that it's a virus ? , it's better to do a clean install of windows, in that case.

Not worth the money, get an i7-4790K instead.

The difference won't be huge but, the 4790K has the highest STP of all the desktop processors so, that would be the best option for pcsx2.
