Hi all,
I am pretty new to overclocking and had a few question about it. First off, my specs are as follows:
CPU: i7 920 D0
MoBo: Asus P6T Deluxe Ver 2
RAM: Corsair XMS3 1600MHz
GPU: 480GTX
Cooling: Dedicated Water cooling setup with great cooling.
Now, I've read through a few guides on how the basics to overclocking, including the one on this site, but is there a possibility to overclock the 920 to around 3.6GHz and have it throttle up when needed and down when not needed?
I only ask this because I leave my computer on all day for other housemates to use it but I personally only use it towards the evening. I didn't want it to run at a high overclock if it wasn't needed (assuming that it will take life off the CPU).
Thanks
