My new build is the following:
AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock FM2A75 Pro4 ATX FM2 Motherboard
Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 1GB Video Card
Corsair Builder 500W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V Power Supply
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
Since I am a noob at this stuff, I have no idea how to overclock. I can find generic instructions online, but since overclocking can potentially damage stuff, I wanted to maybe get some info specific to my setup.
I know there's an overclock utility in the motherboard setup, but I don't want to use it until I know what I'm doing. Also, would I need to get an aftermarket cooler for the CPU if I did this? Does overclocking shorten the life of your CPU significantly? Any info is appreciated
