    Why do my clock speeds spike so high?

    I asked this question in the overclocking forum but didn't get much of a response, hoping i can get some answers here, thanks for reading. So I have my fx6300 OC'd to 4.4ghz with a 212 evo, it is very stable and rarely gets above 60c under load, so no problems there. My question though is, if I...

    Why do my clock speeds spike so high?

    Nope. I was thinking the same thing, that I might have somehow overlooked that, but I went back and checked and it is disabled.

    How will this preform?

    So I finally decided to just go ahead and buy everything for my first build. I didn't need a top of the line type system, and money was a little tight so I tried to cut some corners a little bit. I am not really looking to hear people tell me I should have gone with intel or nvidia ect. Just...

    First build. I think I'm ready but need to check with everyone.

    Thanks a lot for the replies. Gives me a lot more to look into and think about. I don't have a hard budget exactly, just trying to keep it a little lower right now and be able to upgrade any time I want. But if I had to put a price on it right now I would say ~700 if the upgrades would make a...

    First build. I think I'm ready but need to check with everyone.

    So I decided to build a budget gaming pc for my first build. I've done tons of reading and research and I think I am ready to go ahead and order everything, but I wanted to run it by more knowledgeable people before I do. The main thing I am looking for in this build is to be able to play most...
