Hi all,
First post on the forums so I'll try not to sound too much like an idiot .
I'm currently running a AMD 5600+ Dual Core (2.8 @ 2.9) air cooled, which does me fine.. I mean I can play crysis and gta4 etc and have never really had any issues with the chip, but I'm soon to get a nice AMD Phenom X4 9750 2.4GHz.
I'm hoping to overclock the new Quad chip to 3GHz, with the help of a Bigwater 760i kit. But I was wondering, when should I increase voltages?
I'm overclocking my current CPU a tiny bit, but just by increasing the bios settings and not anything to do with voltages etc. I've been using the bios for CPU and Rivatuner for my graphics cards for ages but have never looked into voltage changes.
When should I start increasing the volts?
Cheers, acer.
