hi im gonna be doing my first overclock soonish and i just wanan get clear on some thigns since it is my first time. I read the oc clocking guide on this forum
First My specs r q660 2.4 <stock> atm 4gig ddr 2 ram 8800gts 512 550 wat PSU 800gig hdd .now im gonna be upgrading video card soon to prob 4870 now i was thinking of o.c to 3.0ghz max cause the cooler i got Achillies something reduced the temp in my comp by about 12-14 degrees from the stock cooler depending on how hot it is in th room on stock cooler it idleing about 48-55 degrees on stock underload sometimes between 60-64 now with my achillies cooler it is idling about 41-46 underload 49-55 now the ig temps there r only cause it is hto day or something so i no i cant go past 3.0ghz with those temps or i wil have temp issues.but mny question is with a 4870 and a o.c to 3.0ghz on a 550watt psu wil be able to hold up fine it is a decent psu and can handla a 4870 fine jsut wondering about how it will be after o.c.
Anyway now donw to the hard part for me anyway.Just few question i got form reading the guide of graysky.im a little concerned about the voltages and memory stuff and ratio 1:1 about that pint i got really confused as some of the names in bios r different as we have different mobos .im running a gigabyte ps5-ds3p i wast want to calrify what the actualnames for these in my bios are the memory voltage and wchich settings i change for vcore voltage when doign the test for stability. l8r on thx
