I currently have an AMD 5000+ Black Edition CPU, with a Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H AM2 690G mobo, MSI 8600GTS vid card, Zalman CNPS9500 LED 92mm fan, 2x 1gb G Skill 800mhz DDR2 RAM, Rosewill 550 watt powersupply. So there is my rig running all at stock speeds and clocks. I plan on adding some water,a thermaltake 2U bigwater cooling system. As the title says I am wondering what are the possibilities for overclocking this system. I have read that I can take it all the way to about 3ghz on stock voltage. I am hoping toget to about 3. or higher if this is possible. I must add, I have not done any overclocking any more than with some downloaded software. So if someone can point me into the direction of software or techniques to use and give me some parameters that I can set it too. The temps are not my problem, they are just fine. But this fan is SOOO LOUD. It sounds like my comp is taking off. As I said I want to boost this CPU as far as I can and still have it last me for a few years, so this fan just wont do. So in short I want it silent and Overclock friendly. Thanks in advance. I also am planning on adding a harddrive cooling block, vga cooling block, nothing to do with RAM. Cheers.
