But first, I've got a few basic questions. Being as this will be my first time, I don't plan on setting any world records. Maybe a modest OC of 4.4-4.5 might work as I've heard that the 2600k can reach those speeds without much effort.

1. Is it best to start out slow and maybe start at an oc of 4.0 first and then move up from there. I'm assuming once I'm satisfied that everything is stable I can move up from there just raising the multiplier and the vcore voltage.

2. What is a good voltage for an oc of 4.0?


I'm sure there are other pieces I'm missing to ask about so if you guys would have any suggestions, I would be grateful. :) ]]> drwho http://www.hardwareheaven.com/overclocking-benching-modding/221739-some-basic-questions-first.html http://www.hardwareheaven.com/overclocking-benching-modding/221730-custom-pc-case.html Thu, 09 May 2013 11:30:17 GMT Hi i am building a custom pc and i like the idea of having some sort of design on the side pannels but i dnt like the idea of having a window where u...
