My friend wanted me to build him a budget light gaming pc, i picked a dual core Llano for the cpu because the cheap prices of the higher end motherboards for that socket, the posibility of upgrading to an A8 and radeon 6570 in the futur for more performance, and reviews said ti si easily overclocked. I didnt post here to get trolled for picking a dual core Llano, im here to see about overclocking it to get a little more bang for buck.
Are these easily overclocked? do i need an aftermarket cooler like the hyper 212? or the packaged heatsink? how much clock speed can i get out of it wile still being stable? and how much should it shorten the life span of the cpu?
if anyoen can answer any of these questions it would be great, thanks. and im not dead set on OCing, if it isnt a safe reliable overclocker i am still getting it, im just exploring overclock possibilities.
