Hello, this will be my first mid-range gaming rig build built all by myself and it will be the first time that I will hopefully successfully OC! As tempting as it would be too just ask people what settings I should enter to OC I is a firm believer in learning and taking steps to know wtf is going on. Let’s get too it!

Case: Rosewill THOR V2-White Edition (excited about this) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147158
Video Card: HIS Radeon 5850 *Note Didn’t think buying an upgrade was quite worth the money involved. I am however thinking that I might pass this along to my younger brother and rebuying 2x 5870 perhaps Sapphire Toxic editions if I can find them. (Let me know if you know anyone that’s selling 2 of these bad boys!)
Now basically what I am asking of this community is if anyone has any experience working with the BIOs of this board and what terms I should familiarize myself with or any sound advice from firsthand experience with this Z77 extreme4. Thank you ahead of time!
