Hey all, first off, let me say im a HUGE overclocking noob...however, since i have an e6300 and a gigabyte DS3 board, i figure id be an idiot NOT to OC.
first off, the current rig:
e6300
DS3
8800GTS
1gb G.Skill DDR2 667 (5300)
so, im thinking about getting some more memory (was looking at the 2gb of super talent memory on the HD forum)...however, i was wondering how overclocking works with two types of memory...
do i sell my g.skill on the FS/FT forums for like 50 bucks or somethin and use that towards other stuff, or can i end up doing 3gb and overclock it still (something tells me thats a no)?
on a similar topic...yeah, im VERY new at overclocking, as in..havent done it before.
right now im just using the stock intel cooler, but i plan on getting the tuniq tower 120 very soon to finish off my OCing setup. so im hoping to get decent results (over 3ghz on my 6300).
anyone have a good overclocking guide that at least shows the math behind it and what i should be changing and (more importantly, what i shouldnt be changing)?
EDIT: okay, i did a little searching and found the definitive core 2 OCing guide (i figured there was something like that around here...why no sticky?), however im still not sure what to do about my memory. any opinions?
