OC beginner

[craigdeguz]

Hello all,
Been a member of the forums for a little as a technology fan but never have gotten into Overclocking before. Now im getting bored with my current set up and wanna try some things.

I was wondering, where does a noob like myself go to learn about it? Is there any links, websites, guides out there I can read? My system specs are in the sig. Im not looking for someone to do it for me, im just wondering where resources are to learn about it.

Thanks a lot guys.

yw, just don't push it too far on stock air, if that's what you have. If you can fit it in your case get one of these.

I've also found that getting the cpu up around 55+C is dangerous on the a64. The shutdown temp is 70C I think. I think I damaged my a64 getting it up around 60 on a few occassions. Plus the grease on the a64 stock fan will insulate your cpu heatspreader so get some as5.

You can also find good watercooling stuff at dd, st, and kl.
