First ever overclock!!

[Drunkguy]

I'm starting my first ever system build and overclock!! Learned alot by reading all your post, thanks! I do have a question though, does it matter in what order I install drivers and such? Also should I install all peripherals before overclocking, or overclock first?

For the drivers, I would install the chipset drivers immediately after you finish installing the OS, then install the video drivers after that. I don't believe that the order is very important after taking care of those two. After you install everything and get the system the way you want it, then you can proceed to overclock it. Good luck. Peace.

Your drivers should have little impact on overclocking - overclocking is limited by hardware, not software. Typically I instal chipset drivers, video, audio and then service packs.
