December 24, 201015 yr Sorry but this might have been the wrong place to post but can anyone answer this please...DaveWhen I wanted to learn how to overclock my rig,I went to a website(several) where most(or all) of the readers were overclocking....Lots and lots of info available. Just search "overclock"...Maybe that would work for you...HTH Lou N1472Q C172P N97674 PPL SEL Complex High Performance

I think that's where the computer "experts" hang out. If you oc too much, your system will become unstable and you'll notice that pretty fast so, if you can I would continue to oc gradually until you notice instability. I oc'd through my system bios and you may have that option too. I can get my current system up higher than my current setting (see below) but it rapidly became unstable. My current setting is very stable and it has been oc'd like this for a couple of years now w/o any issues. Best regards,Jim
