    Is a +700MHz memory overclock wrong?

    Hi all, I was overclocking my GPU the other day (EVGA GTX 750Ti SC). First I found the highest stable core overclock which was +80MHz. I then reset the core clock to default and tried to find the highest stable memory overclock however I could never find a limit to which the benchmark would just...

    Graphics card recommendation

    I have an APU build but now want to push the graphics further and use this system as a gaming PC to play new games at reasonably high settings (I would be very happy with settings similar to the next gen consoles). Below is my build: CPU- AMD A10 5800k RAM- 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance RAM MOBO- MSI...

    How many phases does the MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 have?

    I have an MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 and an AMD A10 5800k. I wish to perform a mild overclock with this system. I am adding cooling to the VRM's and have installed a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. However I am unsure if my motherboard has enough phases and if they are of good quality. Is it 4+1 or 3+2...

    Can I overclock my RAM with the motherboard I have?

I have 2x4GB Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP RAM. I wish to sustain a 1866MHz...

    Can I overclock with an MSI-FM2-A75MA-E35?

    I believe my motherboard (MSI-FM2-A75MA-E35) has a small amount of power phases which would make it unsuitable for overclocking. It does not have VRM cooling, however I can add heatsinks and a 40mm fan to blow on them. Will I be able to do a mild overclock on my AMD A10 5800k (I have a Cooler...

    Do I need VRM cooling for my overclock?

    I have purchased a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm) and wish to overclock my AMD A10 5800k to 4.5GHz. My Evo will be in a pull configuration and the fan will be mounted towards the back of the case (because I have tall ram). Therefore minimal air will be blowing over the VRM's... I have been...

    Do I need VRM cooling for my overclock?

    I have purchased a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm) and wish to overclock my AMD A10 5800k to 4.5GHz. I have been advised to add cooling to my MOBO's (MSI FM2-A75MA-E35) VRMs since it does not have any cooling on them currently. Is this true that I will need the cooling? Do all of the VRMs...
