Hey everyone! I'm building a 3570k (Hyper 212 evo) system and it'll be my first overclock.
My main question is do you suggest stress testing before overclocking or should I just OC when the system is up and running?
Also, what programs should I use to test with? I've seen Prime95 and CPU-Z tossed around the forums. Are these good tools or should I look for something else?
I also appreciate any do's and donts from your personal experiences that I should be lookin out for.
