Hey guys, I do a lot of streaming, and I'd like to get a little bit more out of my processor so I can play more demanding games and not have frame rate or any problems whatsoever.
I'm just wondering how I'd go about it, and if it'd be safe with the rig that I have set up.
My setup:
PSU - OCZ Fatal1ty 750w
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 LGA 1155
CPU - i5 2500k
GPU - GTX560ti
RAM - 16gb Kingston HyperX
HDD - Seagate barr 7200 1tb
Water cooler - Corsair H40
I'm not sure what I could boost it up to without risking the possibility of a failure. The cpu hasn't ever been overclocked, and was installed in May of 2012.
So, in key. How would I go about OCing, and what would be a safe limit to put it to. It seems like people OC all of the time, So it should be safe if done correctly?
