I have an As Rock mobo that has its own CPU OC section in the bios. I think it lets you manually change the CPU speed from 4,000hz to whatever you want. I was just scared to put it higher because I didn't know how high, and if I would also have to change other things to keep it in balance. Is that all I have to change, or other things also?
What I want in terms of OC to start is just a very safe, conservative overclock, definitely not something to push the limits or risk the CPU in any way, especially since I'm worried I touched the naughty place with my fingers where the cooling paste goes, and then left it there for a month before finishing building the PC. At least the CPU cooler, Hyper Evo 212's, fan is spinning, but I also thought I read something about copper direct cooling or something which I have no idea how to do.
But if anyone could tell me a good conservative overclock, and what all I need to change (I also did change the ram from 1333 the default in the bios to 1600 since I got 1600 ram), that would be very helpful!
