Hi all,
I am new to this forum as you can all tell so I would really appreciate some advice here on how to go about over clocking 1-2 or both of my machines.
Now since I am new I am unsure exactly what information I need to provide in my post.
Machine 1 (My own brought machine 6 years old)
RAM: 6GB of DDR2 RAM (2x2GB 2x1GB) (Waiting on delivery of another 2x2GB so I can replace my 2x1GB sticks) All current RAM is 800MHz aswell as the new stuff I am buying, current sticks are ADATA branded and the newer stuff is unbranded.
Motherboard: M2N68-VM Asus
2x Internal Hard Drives (one that came with the PC and a 1TB I added).
GPU - Only onboard no card.
CPU - AMD Athlon(tm) 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.60 GHz
OS - Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit - SP2
Power Supply is 240 or 300 volts (Will update once I have a look inside/find the papers for it).
Machine 2 (Part machine - Put together from leftover stuff from 3 other machines)
RAM: 4GB of DDR2 RAM (2x2GB) All current RAM is 800MHz aswell current sticks are ADATA branded.
Motherboard: Gigabyte
2x Internal Hard Drives (one that came with the PC and another from one of the other machiens).
GPU - Has a graphics card not sure which one will update when I get more info on this.
CPU - Intel one running at 3GHz again will update when I get onto that machine.
OS - Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit - SP2
Power Supply is 240 or 300 volts (Will update once I have a look inside).
First question is should I have a go at OCing both machines if possible or just stick to one?
Second question is how can I go about safely OCing my machine w/o causing any damage to it (even if I have to play it super safe since I can't afford to replace things).
My main interest would be to OC the CPU on both machines if possible and anything else that can be done with ease and cause no damage to my machines.
Please bare in mind I'm not in a position to get anything major for these machines just trying to up the juice in these things to make them as powerful as possible within reason.
If there is information I have missed please let me know so I can update or if there is a way to display all the information required easier via a screenshot etc please let me know.
Cheers,
Thanking you all in advance for any help given.
