I would like to overclock my system and do not have experience in overclocking, so I would like help with my system.
I have read up on guides, so I have a good idea on what I am getting into, and have extra fans and an extra bridge heatsink.
I do not know how much wattage I am getting from the PS, but I imagine it is not very much, so I may use another PS and turn on two power supplies at the same time to make up for SOME lost volts/amps/watts while overclocking. I am only trying to clock my computer .3 more GHz, because the system inly runs at 2.79, even though the CPU is 2.8 classed. My mobo supports higher CPU speeds.
I think I covered everything....
Thank you in advance!
P.S.
I wanted to use an old 700 (Celeron) system (to learn on), but I could not figure out how to unlock the BIOS --- If you know how to do this, I will give you the tech info for that system (yes I tried jumpers!-the only one on there is for the CMOS/BIOS, and those settings clear the CMOS)
