Cooling and Overclocking

[Falcoblaze]

Hello! I recently made an account here. I was looking for upgrades and overclocking ideas for my PC.

I am upgrading everything but the CPU and Mobo. I have already purchased another GFX for Sli and Ram. This is my build...


ASRock 970 EXTREME4
CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W Continuous @40°C,80 PLUS
ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5
AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz
Cooler Master R4-L2R-20AC-GP SickleFlow 120mm Blue LED Case Fan
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB 3.5IN 16MB Cache SATA3 Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
Zalman CNPS 5x Performa PURECOPPER/ALU 92MM Fan CPU Cooler LGA1156 1150 1155 775 AM3 AM2 FM1


I am planning to overclock my GFX, Ram, and CPU. What power supply and cooler should I buy? Also my case is tarnished and I am looking for a new case with good airflow (Preferably Full Tower and in between $90-$120).I heard the H100i is a good one, Hyper Evo 212 is as well. I plan to overclock in the area of 4.3-4.7. I have $350 budget for the Cooler, Power supply and case.

A good friend recommended me to this site. Hopefully I can get the wise wisdom and tools to complete this task. Thank you very much

I should recomend you to go with a cooler master 240m, it is cheaper and petter performing than the h100i, for the case I would recomend corsair or maybe nzxt. Great build by the way.

The power supply should be good enough for the job also.

I recomend this one: www.amazon.com/NZXT-Technologies-Source-Chassis-CA-SO530-M1/dp/B00FUC6S5O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424888524&sr=8-2&keywords=Full+tower+Case

So question. I dunno if you know about OC, but I have been looking at guides and what not. I am a total noob at this stuff.

I have the AXTU tuner for the asrock 970 extreme4.

But do you know where (or you know personally) I can get a basic overclocking guide that can get me to at least 4.3 maybe 4.5?

Just use BIOS to overclock right now, I don't have a lot of experience either in overclocking but, BIOS has worked for me before, just make sure the voltage of the CPU is right for the frequency.

 

[Falcoblaze]

Bios? Frequency? you hit me with some new language right there.

I will have to look up some videos on that, thank you!

Also you said 630w is more than enough power for OC and DUAL sli?

 

[hanser30]

yes, two 760 are not going to pull a lot of power from the PSU and it should be fine for overclocking
