Hello there! Long time reader, first time I post.
So, I'm having a soon to be, outdated CPU, so I was fooling around with the thought of overcloking it. For this I really appreciate if you guys could help me out, and push me in the right direction.
I know how overcloking works, and how you're supposed to do it. Despite this, I'm sitll very unsure how to do it, and would require a very step-by-step guide, to follow, before I would do this.
So, hardware specs, that I find needed to solve this!
CPU: Intel Core i7 950 Bloomfield 3.06 Ghz. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115211)
Motherboard: ASUS P6X58D Premium (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131614)
RAM: 12gb of 1333Mhz Kingston DDR3 (3x4gb)
I don't know about the BIOS version, don't know how to check it, but I haven't updated it.
So, here is a very additionals. I have the standard CPU cooler, and I know I will need to replace it. So which cooler do you guys recommend for this?
And I suppose I need to update the BIOS aswell, and how do I do this?
I hope you guys can help me overclock my CPU, and thanks in advance
