Overclocking Approaches - [fr31ns]Karrde - 03-22-2013
Ok so my CPU is finally irritating me enough to want to OC it. I need a reliable, time efficient method for OCing and stability testing. I basically don't wanna spend a week doing this. I'm quite familiar with my bios, I just need a general method for approaching this since I've never OCd anything.

CPU and mobo?
There are different ways depending on chipset.

Like I said, I've never done this XD
Also might be a good time to reseat the heatsink and get an SSD. Maybe more ram too since upgrading the cpu at any point isn't an option.
