Hi,
I have the following setup. My main concern is power (and how to do the calculations to check requirements etc). My exact setup is as follows :
> Antec Sonata III case with Antec 500w PSU provided with the case
> Antec case fan (low, med, high switch) plugged directly into PSU
> ATI 5770 1Gb GDDR5 GPU running plugged directly into PSU (i believe this is 75W)
> 500Gb Seagate HDD
> Asus P5KC i35 motherboard
> Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepping ***
> Xigmatek Dark Knight Cooler (89.45 CFM fan) plugged directly to MOBO ***
***The CPU and cooler have been 'lagged' and seated with Arctic Silver 5
I would like to OC this to 3.2 initially. Do I have enough power kicking out of the PSU for this?
Also, the voltages etc to be applied for every clock is different for each config, chip, mobo etc...what is the minimum AND maximum voltage for the chip...?
Have read many guides but looking for absolute limits on voltage, power and temp
Any help much appreciated
All ready to OC just want to get the config right (as the guides all have very diff configs for voltage etc...but I do not have the knowledge to take this further or analyse why they are different)
