Well, the computer I am referring to is down in my signature (at least it should be xD)
Anyways, Should I even think of overclocking? It's only got the stock cooler, but after running a few different benchmarks, playing my games and such for the past two weeks from when I put it together. According to HWMonitor and AMD's OverDrive I am usually around 55c on each of the cores. Anyways, I've only used the mobo's core unlocker to get it to an AMD Phenom II B55 x4 @ 3.3 GHz. Also, I used the Gameboost on it to get the speeds of the integrated video up a tad to the speeds in the sig.
I'm a newbie at this who only has ever had old systems that I've performed minor upgrades on so I could do what I needed to, wasn't expecting much out of this system as it is now since it I put a whole $300 into it. Badly needed to get rid of my old Athlon 64 3800+ x2 w/ a GeForce 210 that had a failing hard drive, lol. Plan to eventually get a decent graphics card, better PSU, a quality heatsink/fan, and some more fans for better airflow.
