So I was looking for a guide to OC my EVGA x58 and found this
EVGA x58 OC guide.
I'm new to overclocking and somehow 4.2 on air kinda scares me.
I followed the guide almost verbatim except where he did 200 to get 4.2 I did 175 to get about 3.6.
Everything else voltage increases etc I did and it seems stable but I would love any opinions on this.
Last thing I want is to blow a brand new CPU.
I'm running it in a Antec 900 with an extra 120mm fan on the side so its got plenty of airflow but better safe then sorry
