Playaa December 4, 2003 Share Playaa Member December 4, 2003 ...of which I am one. I know NOTHING about overclocking...how about you pro's at it (dweez is the only one I know offhand) help us out that don't know? Explain the terms to us, how to change each one (generic descriptions since each BIOS will be different) etc. Is water cooling easy? Is it worth it? How much does conventional cooling help? what lengths do we go to to cool? help us out here peeps. btw, I REALLY want to build a new system and do it watercooled....so help a bro out yo.

NOFX December 5, 2003 Share NOFX Member December 5, 2003 I wouldnt go with Water cooling unless you are hardcore, but if you want to stay cool, thats the way to go. OCin is basically just a slowly incrementing your system speed and seeing if it is stable, if it is, then you can go a little farther, when it locks up or restarts, you have gone to far. If you take this approach you more than likely will not fry anything. But Keep your eye on the Tempratures, It could be stable at a high speed, but running extremely hot and if it stays hot for a long time, could get fried.

Birdman December 5, 2003 Share Birdman Member December 5, 2003 "when it locks up or restarts, you have gone to far" Not really It just means you may need to up the voltage on the processor or need better cooling. You can never go too far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
