Hi All
So I have recently purchased the below Rig, whilst keeping with my older GFX card to keep the cost down. In the process, I made sure to choose parts selectively, so that I would have the option of toying with overclocking. The last time I tried overclocking it was on my Celeron 667, which is many moons back. Thus looking at this setup I am not really sure where to start and what is recommended.
The rig is as follows:
Any advice, pointers and input are welcome.
Thanks a mill to those who can give me hand in OC this a bit. I spend the majority of my time developing software, so hardware is a little out of my comfort zone.
Kind regards
