Hi everyone on the forums,
I was looking to get slightly more performance from my PC in preparation for Rome 2, so I was looking to overclock, but I have no clue what I'm doing. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could give me an idea of where to start or what the general process is if I wanted to overclock my machine.
My PC's specs are similar to the System Builder Marathon Q4 2012: $1,000 Enthusiast PC on Tom's Hardware, with a few differences such as an upgraded cooling unit. The article (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-a-pc-overclocking-do-it-yourself,3366.html) contains an idea of what to aim for in terms of overclocking but once again, I have no idea where to start.
My full specs are:
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
AMD FX-8350
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 GV-N670OC-2GD
8GB RAM
OCZ Agility 3: 60 GB SSD
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD
Arctic Freezer 7 PRO
