Overclocking newb on the block
Wassou. I've got a dualcore Pentium D 925, an Acer F672CR mobo, a gig
of ram, NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT video card, and an onboard sound card. Since I bought the new comp, I wanted to take advantage of the 2x faster speed so I've been doing a lot of video encoding, but since I was so used to having slowass 5-6 fps on my old comp, I decided to maximize the quality settings and now I also get about 5-6 fps encoding on this one. I got the PC relatively cheap and I now regret for being so jewish and not waiting 'till I accumulated enough cash for a more modern machine. So since I'm laid off, buying another PC is not an option, hence I wanna overclock this bitch. Where do I start? Is my CPU ideal for overclocking? Can I safely alter 3000 MHz to 4000 in my BIOS? How do I know what the right voltage values are to set? What are the key aspects I should pay attention to? During video encoding or whatever hogs up the CPU to 100%, my mobo temp hops to 47 C and my CPU remains at 22. How hot can the mobo get before it becomes a potential risk? Will a faster CPU affect my GPU whose heat is already at a hell level (66 C)? I got about 3 fans, one from the PSU, a small secondary auxillary fan, and a bigger CPU fan with a large funnel. |
