Hey,
So I got the 3750k and this is the first time I have ever got my own parts for a custom computer (I used to use crap computers) and am planning on overclocking it but I have some questions that I need clarification for first.. I am a total noob to overclocking.
1) If I overclock the CPU would it shorten the life of the CPU even though I have adequate cooling? (I want to make sure because I'm in college and I paid for these parts out of my own pocket with my own money and want to get the best out of it)
2) If the answer to #1 is no then what should I set the CPU's max clock speed to if I want to keep it on the safe side?
3) If I overclock the CPU will it also overclock the integrated graphics? (HD 4000)
4) If the answer to #3 was a no then is there a way to overclock the integrated graphics? (I'm only asking this because I plan on waiting for black Friday to buy a graphics card and if that's a bad idea tell me!)
Thanks so much everyone
