x2 565 to x4 OC

[M1kkelZR]

nope unless you know how to fix a CPU from the inside but a 7.6 at 4.2ghz 3Cores is good.

Might see if i can get her up to 5.0GHz but isn't all you need three cores as games can only use two and the third for os and auxiliary programs right?

well most games will only use 2 cores to do all the processing sometimes the third core will step in to help but 2 cores are always plenty. but as it is now an X3 it willl handle things better and keep things speedier than the original x2

i think there are actually some stability errors in the X3 now .... calculation drops damn!!!

ok this is odd, it should be stable enough, otherwise the cooling you are using may not cool the OC down enough

hmmm so next up grade cpu cooler how about a V6 Gt or V10? know of any other good ones?

 

[TekMaster]

Thermaltake has some pretty nice coolers too, I use the frio, its remarkable. But massively bulky
dual fan set up push-pull config

 

[sidrenwada]

what are you cooling and how much over clocking ?

i think a Cooler Master V8 is one to look at, thinking of getting this myself when the build is done

is it worth looking into water cooling?

to be honest, not yet. make sure your computer is upgraded to the highest you want it to be. then try watercooling.

 

[sidrenwada]

ok cool and installing a cpu cooler is easy ish right?

 

[M1kkelZR]

yeah its just take the cooler off you have now, i presume its Socket AM2+ / AM3 so just loosen 1 side and the other side is loose too. then unplug the fan power and the cooler is off.

same way with installing just attach the one side and tighten the other,

 

[sidrenwada]

do i have to remove the motherboard?

 

[M1kkelZR]

nope. it can stay in the case, aslong as you dont have any power going through the motherboard, just in case of stored electricity also diffuse the system.

press the Power button about 6 times when there is no power connected to the PSU.

sweet thanks
