Hey folks,
I am about to get an 850 Tbird Athlon. I was wondering what I could o/c the cpu to in order to keep it stable. And Im getting a crobe socket A fan. I think thats good enough to keep the cpu cool. But i need to know...without unlocking the chip (since i have no clue how to do), only changing the FSB, what is the average speed i can get up to, and what temp should i keep it at. Oh and since this is goin to be the first time I overclock a cpu, i was wondering how the longevity of the cpu's life will decrease by? Is it worth it? Please help me out. I really need to know. Would greatly appreciate it.
