your welcome :) BIOS for these boards need to be updated all the time from the manufacturer for some reason.
 
last post was late i guess...lol

1. I hope you're not using stock cooler, the best you can achieve without overheat will be around 4GHz since Intel doesn't test overclocking, hence no gaurantee.  If you want higher, you need better cooling.  Just so you know, the rise in heat from overclock is depends on both frequency and voltage, the formulas to estimate the changes are exponential (I have them in the first link of my sig).
2. Whlie overclocking may be realatively easy in terms of adjusting the frequency and voltage, you must stress test to ensure stability and never assume it is.  If it was gauranteed stable at higher speeds, then Intel would have sold it that way with a premium.  Intel only gaurantees what we buy, thereafter is 'luck of the draw', doesn't matter what other folks get their 2500K to.  In fact, to be quite frank, each guide you find online is based on the batch tested, that's why you can't just copy numbers.  Look up your FPO Batch number either on your retail packaging or the CPU itself, and look through lists like this to see what others with similar batches have been able to do.   Your batch might be in between and estimate where your CPU could end up, due to 'luck of the draw'.  Similar batch don't all end up at the same max freq, but they overclock similarly. 
    
   Note: High overclocks from less voltage imply subtle or casual overclocks don't need as much voltage change, you could hypothetically leave it on auto; but still need to stress test to see if it works for longer periods.  Many times, such batch lists are just benchmark runs and not 24/7 settings.   

It is through stress testing or some other program that tends to push all cores to 90%+ that you quote the core temperature readout, not idle or what it says in BIOS.  Read the guides carefully and even google other guides for your processor.  Common ways of stress testing are with LinX and Prime95 and you run them for hours, if you come across errors, tweak and make adjustments to voltage or timings.  
 
The idea is you don't want the system to suddenly shut down when you are doing something critical, running some program that fully stresses the system and the results matter to you (like if you were in engineering and you're running a simulation, or if you're playing a game tournament or folding 24/7).
