Hi guys. I purchased all the parts to my new rig yesterday, and they should all be here tomorrow. Here are the specs:
-MB DFI BLOOD IRO P35-T2RL P35 775 R--- http://www.newegg.com/Product/...Tpk=DFI%2bblood%2biron
-CPU INTEL|C2D E6550
-STT DDR2-800 2GB/128x8 S-RIGID Memory x2 (4gigs)--- https://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=T8UB2GC5
-BFG-NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT OC 512MB
-HD 320G|WD
-WIN VISTA 64BT
-PSU CORSAIR|CMPSU-520HX
So here is the story: ive never really been interested in overclocking. I always thought that OC'ing would fry my system, or somehow shorten the component's lives and ruin my comp down the line. Im sure that this is a pretty simplistic way of looking at this, so I ask you OC kings, what can I do with this system? Keep in mind I dont plan on doing anything crazy, and I am gonna be using stock cooling. My case is the CoolerMaster Centurion that anand reommends on his mid-guide. So taking this into account, is there any overclocking that is worth doing, and if so, how do I do it? Please, when you explain, do so as if you where talking to you grandma. I have NEVER OC'ed anyhing and wouldnt even know where to begin. Thx in advanced guys.
