raise the cpu multiplier and VCore, dont expect much more than 4GHz loland if your planning to upgrade your gpu why dont you try flashing to the HD 6870, iv'e head of sucess on that part before
thank you. i dont expect to go much higher than 3.6ghz.. 3.8 if im lucky
combining this with a new GPU i think will greatly enhance my performance.. gettin ready for those new games XD
That is a great cooler and one that I love using. Very good cost/cooling ratio and probably the best cooling out of the mid-range coolers, even competes with some of the high end air coolers.
About the GPU overclock, sorry but you cannot flash a 6850 to a 6870, the 6850 does not have that kind of horse power. You can flash a 6950 to a 6970, but the 6850 and 6950 are two very different cards.
