Hi all,

I've just built a new rig, my first in fact and I was looking for some advice and expectations to what I might be able to get out of it....

So.. I'm running;
~Fx-6300 cooled by a H80i
~Xfx 7850 2Gb core edition, custom modded with H50 and heatsinks for VRAM+mofsets
~8Gb of corsair vengeance
~On a Asus M5A97 R2.0

My CPU is running at 27 idle and full load
My gpu is running at 25idle and 52 full load (previously 32c/80c!)


Just wanted to get some idea what kind of overclocks I should be expecting when I start to push this thing?

Any input or ideas would be greatly appriciated! :)

**UPDATE** So I have cranked up the GPU to 1250Mhz and Mem to 5600Mhz, Runs super smooth and cool.

Could use some solid advice on how to approach overclock the cpu on this MOBO

I eventually got the system running at 4.5Ghz I tried to push higher but it began to become unstable. The GPU is dialed down to 1145/1350. Only because sleeping dogs crashed on anything higher (all othe games seemed fine :/ ). So all in all quite happy.

Yeah, a good rig. Started off as a budget build and since then I have invested a lot more. Scored well on 3DMark 11. 7258. Which is nice and so far all games run smooth. Steam sale is filling my harddrive quick though! :p
