Just use google for overclocking tips, and get a good cpu cooler to avoid a lot of heat and noctua fans for quietness.

4.7GHz is pretty much guaranteed with an i5 2500K. 47 multi and a tad bit of extra voltage is all it takes. Auto settings for the rest works fine. Ymmv

More importantly, its not even that you don’t know how to overclock, its the fact you don’t know how to type your question into Google.
