Hi there,
I have never overclocked in my life and would like some advice on this.
here is my build:
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
AMD XFX HD 7870 2048MB GHZ EDITION
BitFenix Merc Alpha Gaming Case - Black
OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4130 Black Edition 3.80GHz(Socket AM3+) Processor
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 AMD 760G (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
EVGA 600W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (100-B1-0600-KR)
Can I Overclock this cpu on my motherboard? I have no idea how to check this. How much overclcoking is safe for this cpu? How do I overclock - is it on the CCC? Do you think overclocking this amd cpu will improve performance in gaming?
I do not have a after market cooler for the cpu, only the stock fan. Do you guys recommend one? If so which one should I buy that's good value for money?
Thanks in advance
