Overclocking CPU help

[DevSquallz]

I am wondering...is it safe to try overclocking my i5 4690k even FURTHER than a 4.2? I have been running 4.2GHZ on stock voltage stable for a while now.

Edit: I want to try ~4.8?

take it slowly... try 4.5 or 4.4ghz first if its stable then go to 4.7 or 4.8ghz..
whats ur cpu cooler and ur psu??

Cooler: Coolermaster V8 GTS
PSU: Corsair CX 750M

okay so ur cooler is good but the psu isnt... its not the wattage its the quality... CX series was mwant to be on budget builds... If u take it to far with that psu might damage ur pc. so better stick with 4.2ghz or if u can upgrade ur psu to a tier 1 or 2 psu...

Know my system to recommend a psu?

I didnt really plan on a "budget" as I didnt think my power supply was a problem.... now its trying to decide between:
- Getting a better psu so I can overclock this one more
- Getting a 4790K
- Or getting 2 more monitors...

what i meant was what is ur pc the specs.... need to know that to recommend anything or to answer the questions

Various case fans...

well i wouldnt recommend upgrading to a 4770k jst yet... maybe wait a bit more.. even if u get a 4770k and overclock it still the psu problem is there... adding more monitors may decrease gaming performance so wouldnt recommend that either... So yeah a new psu a better quality one so u can overclock ur spu a bit more to get more performance would be better..... There shouldnt be any problems with performance for now right??? why overclock to 4.8ghz 4.2ghz is okay
