Overclocking Question

[jakes69]

I built my first rig about 3 months ago...everything is running smooth as butter.

My question is should I even try to temper with overclocking the components? Is it worth the risk since I have zero experience with overclocking what so ever?

Well thats really a decision for you to make. I usually build a system in the mindset that i am going to overclock it when i am done. I suggest you read a few guides then decide how hard it would be for you, then make your decision.

What components are in your system?

i7 920
Intel DX58os
Corsair Dominator 6gb
Radeon 5850

The graphic card looks simple enough to overclock with catalyst.

How much of a speed gain if I overclocked all the components moderately?
