[SOLVED] help a first time overclocker

[mjwaller2]

Just looking for that extra boost in performance that comes with overclocking my system. Current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MXY4k6

Any general tips to overclock my CPU and GPU? Should I be concerned about airflow, as the only 2 fans installed are the exhaust ones that came with the nzxt case? Any concern with running into the limit of my power supply? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

you ned to had 2 front fans and your ram wont go over 2666 from maker link so activate axmp in uefi for ram and see cpu should raise up to 3400 on the speed use hwinfo to check this

thanks for your reply but I’m not quite sure I follow. I understand that I should probably add 2 front intake fans

you case came in with fans on back and top so you need to get air in to lower temp this means 2 front fans as intake i use same cpu so you need good air flow in the case to overclock .
