EPTIm creating this New thread because the old one was turning into an entirely different issue where the title/subject no longer supported it. So i hope to find more help with this one.
This is the MOBO im using

Ok, so this is where my issue arises from the guide I am using here: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/01/07/how-to-overclock-the-intel-core-i5-2500k/4
It is telling me to adjust various voltages to support the overclock, However the bios screen in the guide looks almost nothing like my own bios screen. Because of this I have no idea where to find the voltage values that I need to change (With exception to the QPI VTT Voltage setting)
From Advanced Voltage Settings
Load-Line Calibration gets enabled, then plug in your voltages: a CPU VCore of 1.3V, a QPI/VTT (otherwise known as the VCCIO) of 1.12V, a System Agent Voltage (aka VCCSA) of 1.135V and a the usual 1.65V of DRAM Voltage. You can type these values in directly, but Gigabyte jumps between 0.01V and 0.02V increments on different settings, so you might need a bit of cursor-key fine-tuning.
We also found different BIOS revisions required different voltages for our CPU (the earlier F2 only needed a 1.28V vcore, while the later F5 required 1.3V for stability at 4.5GHz). This may change again in future updates, so remember to double-check your your overclock if you update your BIOS or receive a board with a different revision. A bit of smallfft crunching in Prime95 and three loops of our Media Benchmarks should do.
Quit the voltage menu all the way to the main menu where you should next select Integrated Peripherals. Set the PCH SATA Control Mode to ACHI (or RAID if you're making an array) and leave the options alone. We've disabled the the eSATA 3 Controller and Onboard Serial Port 1 because we're not going to use either.

This is what MY Screen Looks like

Last time I winged it and it resulted in the errors where I had to pull the CMOS batt.
