just a hint guys, dont OC your processor or ram unless you have a 3.5+ cpu a fucking awesome mobo, like 300+ and expensive good ram with a head spreader

ive fried my old motherboard, cpu and ram and video card trying to OC my cpu and ram, shit got all kinds of fucked up, so unless you got good shit, and you have researched your item to see if it can handle a good OC'in dont mess around with your cpu or ram

thats not true, you probably gave it to much voltage or oced it to much. i have oced many things. some cheap some really nice, i only fried the processor once.

u really have to work to fry ur processor..ive oced a couple times but only on good stuff like corsair and patriot..wich is meant to be oced..dont try that shit on a stick of cheap ram

You guys are using stress testing programs (Prime95/Orthos/Memtest) when overclocking right? If your cpu and memory can handle those programs for more than 12 hours without error, then you have a stable computer, in theory. And I've done my research on all my computer components and am very confident with its setup. The processor is 3.1gh stock, but this little puppy is a beast (with the proper setup). I wouldn't have overclocked it otherwise.

getting the perfect performance is all within the ram, the mobo, and the cpu. even if they are all compatible with each other, doesnt mean they are gonna work at high performance with each other. lets say you have two mobos, a pny and a msi at the exact same specs, you pop a stick of ram and a cpu in the pny, and you pop the same stick of ram and cpu in the msi, its possible that the setup with the msi will out perform the pny.

Well also in terms of overclocking, your also going to want a solid power supply and a better than stock cooling system to help achieve the performance of your fancy. Right or wrong?

i was at first..changed my mind in a split of a second.

i dont ever use any stress soft,just dont OC that much,5-10% on memory and cpu,a lil less on the video card..make sure yall buy brand name PS units,since theyr the only ones that maintain the power they state..most chinese power supplies lie about the performance,they state the peak power wich is usually double the real power their PSs can deliver.Best brand out there (to me) is ULTRA,specially the modular units..thermaltake is good too,and they deliver what u pay for.

jwpizzy · « **Reply #34 on:** January 25, 2009, 02:31:57 AM »

First off fury, your quite racist for thinking that about the Chinese. Secondly, it's probably true. Thirdly, the stress test programs just make me feel more comfortable/confident in knowing that I have built a stable piece of machinery.

fury · « **Reply #35 on:** January 25, 2009, 02:03:12 PM »

ohh.i dont look down on chinese..its just they build their technology cheap to cut down on costs..every chinese PS ive had lasted no longer than 1 year...i know some top brands have their stuff built in asia under american specs..like everything else..but at least they use top grade components.
as for the stressing soft,yeah..it comes handy if u wanna take ur PC to its maximum potential..which if i did..would turn me into the best DOD:s player and eventually a worldwide known "hacker" to look at for.

oh btw, if any1 is buying a new comp, go with BFG for your power supply, because if your power supply frys, so does your whole computer ive learned that the hard way like 4 years back, i bought like a 400$ computer, bought some POS 700watt 30$ power supply, a week later it short circuited and i just saw sparks coming from everywhere

(700watts my ass, it put out like 150-200) so yea dont pay attention if there a PS for like 30$ and it says its 700watt, always, always go with BFG if you have the money

DONT GET BFG, CHEAP PARTS!!! and just because your powersupply fries, doesnt mean that the whole computer is gonna fry. it can, but most likely wont.

just saying save your self the trouble and dont get bfg. your lucky if you get a good one
