i'm new here and i'm wondering if it's possible to overclock my cpu. The core speed is 2.2GHz
My PSU is a DPS - 250AB - 22 B
Output: 250W Max
I have the option to upgrade that to an Extreme Power Plus 500W RS-500-PCAR-A3 that is in another computer which is not being used.
My intention in overclocking is to improve my performance in the games i currently play and better my chances of playing the ones i want to own. I seem to be failing alot of minimum requirements on canyourunit because of my cpu speed and sometimes graphics card depending on the game. Which brings me to another question of mine. Would it be possible to overclock my NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT PCI-E 16x?
the rest of my specs are
Memory Type: DDR2
Memory Size: 2048 MBytes PC2-5300
Channels: Dual
Memory Frequency: 200.9 MHz (CPU/11)
Windows Version: Windows Vista Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 x64
DirectX Version : 10.0
Motherboard: Acer EM61SM/EM61PM
Chipset: NVIDIA
Bios: Phoenix Technologies, LTD
version: R01-B3
date: 02/07/2007
At the moment i don't have the funds to buy new parts so i figure if i can overclock it'll keep me satisfied till i can upgrade. Thanks in advance for the help.
