This is my current build just built it last month. I am planning to buy the Coolermaster hyper TX cooler and was wondering if i could get away with a light over clock(~4.0GHz)?
My Concerns- My PSU is only 500W I have heard that OC'ing will draw a lot more power than standard CPU usage. Is there a difference in power draw if the overclock is lighter? If i maybe i lowered the over clock to something like 3.8 or 3.7 to stay within power supply range would the difference be negligible?
-The chipset on my motherboard is 760G I've heard that this isn't the best chipset for overclocking. Will that affect performance at all?
This would be my first time overclocking and as you can see I'm a little worried about doing it on my brad new build lol.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
