Hello all, I have a core 2 duo e6600 on a Dell manufactured motherboard, model 0cu409 with intel chipset. its a 2.4 ghz but when I check CPU-Z core speed is reading 1596.0 ghz, Is that normal while pretty much just running firefox?
Also Will I have any trouble oc'ing with my mobo? or is there a simpler way to do it other than booting bio's? I currently am running a stock heatsink in a case to small for an aftermarket cooler, But I am getting a thermaltake commander ms-i friday and was wondering what my best options are for an aftermarket cpu cooler and how hard I can push it without having to worry about a meltdown?
Some of my other specs are win7 32 bit, 3gddr2 ram (just stock ram not gaming), 520 watt atx power supply, radeon hd4650 1gig gpu.
Sorry for rambling on, I really hope I didn't leave out any crucial info that may be needed by you to help assist me with this. If you need any more info at all just let me know and I will reply asap. My main goal is I just wanna be able to game and stream without any issues on my rig, So do I just need to scrap this rig and start over with a new everything? Any advice or help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks very much.
