  • Overclocking noob question

    I looking at building my own PC. I want to get the MSI 790FX-GD70. It says that it supports DDR3-1333 memory and with OCing it supports up to 2133. Do I have to buy 1333 and OC it to higher speeds or can I use 1600 or higher RAM to begin with? If I can will it recognize the higher speed or will the motherboard have to be OCed to get the higher ...

  • Extra power needed when OC'ing??

    I am planning on buying this processor: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor - Retail I read that it will OC to 3.9GHz but I would only OC it to roughly 3.5. It says it uses 125W. How much extra power would I need to overclock it? Is there a way to figure it out?

    Hi, I am in the process of building a new computer. I am trying to build a computer that will be good for internet browsing, MS Office stuff, watching blu ray movies, and some casual gaming (like Call of Duty 4, Civ IV, NCAA 2010, etc). I am looking for a solid performer on a budget. I have acquired an Athlon X2 7750 for free through a friend. I ...

  • Is Overclocking dying?

    A few years a go this was popular with techies and people wanting to get a bit more out of their system. It was also popular with people seeing how far they could push components to the point of failure without actually wanting to use this power in gaming.  As time went on manufacturers recognised people liked to have something ...
