i54670k oc advice

[andyb313]

Hi guys I've just got back into PC gaming after 12 years of no PC.
4760k CPU with cool master hyper t4 cooler
Asus z87 pro
8gb 1600ddr3 vengeance ram

About to start with the over clocking but have been reading conflicting Info. I don't want to oc the ram yet just the CPU.

Am I ok to just increase the fsb in this set up? Was thinking of trying 4ghz and testing with prime 95 . what is the Max temp I should let my CPU get to during stress test?

I don't want to damage my CPU in anyway.

Also does oc'ing reduce the life of my CPU?

Thanks in advance!

I ran it and windows still shows 3.4 GHz

get this. It will show the current speed on your CPU.

Stupid question, but did you remember saving it in bios and not just quit?
