Hello, soon I'm buying a new pc
I never tried overclocking, and never read a complete guide.
So before I do that I would like to ask you guys if my mother board and RAM are sufficient enough
to make an over clock to the cpu to about 4GHz or even maybe more.
(Do I need faster ram? please tell me why)
Also will I be able to get my cpu overclocked to 4 GHz with the stock cooling I get with the cpu or will I need to buy some Secondary cooling unit. (if yes, any suggestions?)
I would also like to overclock my gpu, just asking to be 100% sure, Can I overclock my gpu even without overclocking any other part in my system + I will not have to buy any other cooling unit for the gpu right?
Sorry if the questions bother you but I want answers to my specific system. :]
Thanks ahead. sbhk1
