I want to preface by saying I'm new to the forums and I am not a computer expert by any means. I want to get back into flight sim after being out since the late 90's. I hope to build my own system in a few months - I decided to wait to see how FSX performs with the new Sandy Bridge CPUs. In the meantime, I'm reading these forums, seeking advice, and learning all I can about how this stuff works before I build my own system.OK, getting that out of the way ... I ran across a good forum/website describing how to overclock the new Sandy Bridge CPUs (w/ ASUS mobo, although the concepts can be applied to others). I thought it would be helpful for all the folks like me who are not computer saavy. All you experts out there, feel free to critique the site, offer advice based on your knowledge/experience. I liked the site because the overclock instructions were easy to understand (and hopefully easy to follow). I have not done it myself, obviously, so I can't relay my personal experience. I just liked the site because, in my opinion, it has been the best I've read on overclocking. So, I hope it helps someone.http://www.clunk.org...-beginners.html

Thanks for the link
