Can I overclock my Q6600 with my current hardware?
Last response: in Overclocking
Hello,
I'm interested in overclocking my Q6600 to around 3.0Ghz, but I don't know much about the power consumption of my hardware, nor how accurate those PSU calculators are....so I'm basically concerned about whether or not my PSU will provide enough power to support my current hardware once my CPU is overclocked.
Currently, I'm using:
CPU: Q6600 with a Noctua NH-U9B heatsink
GPU: Gigabyte 4850 1Gb, factory overclocked to 700Mhz
Motherboard: GA-P35-DS3R
RAM: 2x2Gb DDR2 RAM
Fans: 3x120mm fan, 1x140mm LED Fan, 1x80mm CPU heatsink fan, 1x210mm LED fan
HDD: 1xIDE, 2xSATA
PSU: Seasonic S12+ 550W
Any help would be appreciated.
