    Should I Overclock?

    A bunch of my friends have been telling me I should overclock my CPU. Seems like a ton of people are doing this. Here are my specs.

    PSU: Corsair 650w
    CPU: Intel i5 2500k (3.3 ghz w/ 3.7 turbo)
    Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 570
    RAM: 8GB G. Skill Ripjaw (2 x 4GB)
    Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68A
    Cooling: 2 120mm Case fans, Xigmatek Gaia Heatsink and fan

    Also losing some fps in World of Warcraft lately. Was usually sitting on 60fps constant. Now it jumps around between 45-60 and even goes to 30ish at times.

    Yes. Getting around 4.5 should be fairly easy. This is a decent guide.

    I'll take a look at it. I have never done anything like this before.
