Questions about thermal compound

PaulJablonski1 · Dec 16, 2013

I was just wondering, if i should buy the thermal grease/compound for my cpu? I have an AMD FX-6300 vishera? And the term i have been hearing a lot is over clocking. What does it do and mean? I've been told that if i run more power to my cpu, i will overclock it. I will be getting 850W power supply, will this matter??

first of over clocking means running you cpu at speeds higher than the stock speeds for better performance.

you processor runs at 3.5 ghz....now if you start oc ing, you will be able to get it running at around 4ghz or so, thereby increasing your cpu performance.

secondly it will not be enough to get a thermal compound....you have to get an entire new cpu cooler if you wish to oc.

this should be good for you:

i will need your full system specs to be able to tell how much can you oc.

850w psu is good enough.

So, if i wanna OC i should get that cooler instead? What specs will you need to know if i can OC? And if i have the 850W power supply, am I in risk of OC ing my CPU??

your motherboard make and model, graphic card make and model as well as your psu make and model.

oc ing to a sweet spot does not posses any threat.....but over doing it might harm the longevity though

all your components are good except for the mainboard. with this board, i would say 3.8-3.9ghz is enough

good luck

Thank you, what do you mean by the main board? so I shouldn't OC it then?

There are a lot of factors that go into the how much you can overclock a CPU. Your CPU, motherboard, chipset and cooling are the main things.

siddharthmukul007 · Dec 16, 2013

mainboard is your motherboard...you will be able to oc till 3.8-3.9 fine, you don't need to be worried
