its a very boring process
In all seriousness though, I agree with Skyride and Chris, you need to spend a good while looking into how to go about it, deciding if the performance boost is even worth it, doing it safely... With your processor, you're not going to see a huge boost in performance by doing it, no point for a good few years]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=261066 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 15:16:18 +0100 Reply by Nmx https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15001/page-2/?recent=261066#post=261061 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=261061 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 15:04:42 +0100 Reply by sick-lizard https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15001/page-2/?recent=261066#post=260780 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=260780 Sat, 25 Dec 2010 13:07:39 +0100 Reply by Nmx https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15001/page-2/?recent=261066#post=260778 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=260778 Sat, 25 Dec 2010 13:01:24 +0100 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15001/page-1/?recent=261066#post=260776 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=260776 Sat, 25 Dec 2010 12:53:53 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15001/page-1/?recent=261066#post=260774 Quoted from Spike Himself

So where do you think the heat comes from?

Because you're already exceeding what its designed to do. Its not that simple, I know you think you know how it works because you read up about new PC parts, but you really have no idea. The only reason I even understand it is because I have a fairly basic knowledge of EE.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=260704 Sat, 25 Dec 2010 00:38:54 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15001/page-1/?recent=261066#post=260703 Quoted from Spike Himself
Get a cheap/old mobo/cpu and play around. Trial and error is the way of the overclocker.

[...] lol, thats such a retarded argument wonder why there is 50k threads about it on every oc forum... hmmm :/ but first thing u need to ask to yourself: do you feel like you even need OC? in general, only reason to oc is to get more fps, so do u even play a game where ur fps is under ur requirement?
Well not really. My point is that he literally doesn't even know what difference overclocking will make. He's just vaguely heard of it somewhere and was politely asking if it was worth doing, to which I've politely replied "nah, not really". Fiddling with highly sensitive electronics worth hundreds of pounds/euros when you don't have any clue what you're doing isn't a very good idea. There is a lot of ways to learn things that don't involve asking on a forum.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=260693 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 23:46:30 +0100 Reply by quadua https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15001/page-1/?recent=261066#post=260692 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15001&post=260692 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 23:39:22 +0100
