Hello,
I have gone through a few of the forums about overclocking, but I wanted to get some information based more off of my build. This will be the my first time overclocking my computer so any help would be great. Heres is my setup
Processor- obviously a AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE quad core
Memory- OCZ OCZ3G1333LV8GK Gold 8GB PC10666 DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Upgrade - 1333MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, 2x4096MB
Hard drives 1TB 5400 RPM and 320GB 7200 RPM HD
power source- XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
Motherboard- ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Tower- AZZA Solano 1000 Black/Black Japanese SECC Steel/Metal mesh in front ATX Full Tower Computer Case
CPU cooler- Tuniq CR-T120-EX-SV 120mm Magnetic Fluid Dynamic Bearing Tower Extreme CPU Cooler
Video card- XFX Radeon HD5850 graphics card
Oh and I have an extra 120mm gentle typhonn 14-AP
I read somewhere that it's smart to change out the fan on the tuniq so I am thinking I might use the gentle typhoon for that.
So basically I was wondering at about what level do you think would be safe to over clock and what would be pushing it too far. I have read anywhere from 3.8 to 4.3.
Also if you have any ideas of things I might want to add. I don't want to go way out there with liquid cooling or anything like that but if there is something else that would be good to add to my setup I would appreciate any advise.
