read as much as possible. look it up on google to see if somebody is using the same mobo and cpu as you.



and failing that ask game

Look on the Overclockers.co.uk Forum. Yeah it's a shop but has loads of guides and useful active people in your stuff.

More specifically http://forums.overcl...display.php?f=7 - top 3 stickys.

Only after doing the research!

As said above read lots of guides and dont expect much of an OC unless you have decent cooling.
And expect to spend lots of time checking to see if your oc is stable with lots of crashes.

No expert but should be able to touch 4 with that and some decent cooling.
Just follow a repitable guide and be patient. I normally do .1 or .2, run the tests and dont increase until after ive played some games for.a few hours (usually next day)

It's pretty simple if you follow a good guide and dont rush it
