This isn't an overclocking tutorial--think of it more as an experiment to see if overclocking is actually useful. We overclocked the 5820k Haswell-E processor and saw a definite boost in synthetic benchmarks. But will video encodes be the same story? Watch the episode to find out!
If you are looking for a general guide to overclocking modern chips, take a look at Lifehacker's beginner article:
