How to overclock 4690k?

Hi, can someone tell me how to overclock properly or provide a link to help me overclock. Just got my aftermarket cooler today, but have never overclocked before seeing how i always used non k cpus.

Thanks in advance

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3P
Cpu cooler: Cryorig H7

Exactly. And honestly, a modest 200rpm faster on the intake fan at any given time can stop your GPU fans from needing to blaze. Those tiny fans are a LOT louder than other fans once they get going fast, so reducing their need to do so can drastically cut down on noise levels too. Overall, it's best to let the system manage the fans from the bios, even using a custom curve that you've created, so that they're quiet when they're not needed but can pick up the pace when they are.

The bottom line though is that you DO want a balance of fan performance and quiet, so find a happy medium that works for you and that's the best you can hope for.

switched to silent mode in bios, works great now. All temps are good, Cpu cores are maxing at 49-52 C, motherboard is 30, GPU is still peaking at 67 C but cools back down to 50s, i cant even hear my 970s fans, they are actually really quiet

so im happy
