Hey folks,
I just built my first budget (gaming) PC, and although I understand overclocking I don't know how to do it. I appreciate any help in doing so. My goal is to have the CPU running at a stable 4+ghz to get the most out of the system graphically. Here's my build:
1. MSI A78M-E45 motherboard
2. AMD Athlon 760k cpu
3. Arctic A11 CPU cooler
3. G. Skill 16 GB ram (8gb x 2)
4. Sapphire Radeon R7 260x 2GB ram GPU
5. Corsair CX600 psu
6. Western Digital Black 1TB
7. A couple of extra case fans to keep it cool.
I've tried using the OC GENIE at the BIOS screen but it says it can only be used with a K-series cpu??? How can I overclock it manually (and safely) to achieve my desired results?
