Hi i built my rig a while ago and i've decided i should finally dive into the world of overclocking since i did buy a cpu cooler and such but i am beyond confused ive read the guide on the evga forums and looked up other guides on other forums, youtube etc etc and i've basically found 5-8 different ways to do the same thing on sorta similar to my specs and i just give up im so confused a to what # to change the multiplier what voltage to put things to to what is or is not safe my bios dont look like his bios etc etc so im asking if anyone could take the time to help me out and guide me towards my goal id greatly appreciate it
i want to oc to 3.6-3.8 if possible without raping out my cpu too much im not sure if i can do this with my setup id like some advice im rocking a antec 902 with 3 front intakes 120m one inside behind another a side 120mm kaze slipstream intake a 120 mm backvent and 200mm top vent my cpu is a hyper 212+ single fan configuration
my corsair 6 gb dominator ram also isnt going at its advertised cas 8-8-8-24 1600 speed instead its at 1033 will i be able to fix this with the overclock ?
