It seems a lot of you have your systems overclocked. How about a Overclocking thread?
To me OC any system is a 'Dark Art'.
No-matter what threads I read, it always seems that the poster assumes that everyone has a little knowledge. I really wish I did, I really do.
I am pretty sure that my system will easily reach 4Ghz (air cooled), but having opened the Bios, tried to follow a "this is how you do it", there is always something that is not shown, some setting that is missed and this means I back out. It's too much to risk?
The main issue I have found is that I can find a guide for my Motherboard, but not with the same processor. I can find a Gude for the Processor but not the Motherboard in combination...etc, etc.
I realise that CloD will undoubtedly benefit by me pushing my system, but why is it such a problem to find a really 'easy' guide to OC my or any system?
With the system I am listing below what would be a realistic overclock ( I know I have to run Prime to make sure it's stable) and is there any website that deals with my combination, because I really have not found one yet?
Cheers, MP
