My pc specs
Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 Ghz
mobo - Asus P5G41T-MLX
Memory - 4GB ddr3 1333 (2 x 2GB)
GTX 750 Ti
psu - Antec VP450P 450W
Windows 8.1 64 bit
I made a mistake of buying the Q9550(used) as i couldn't afford a full system upgrade. I got it at the price of a pentium cpu. I expected it to run games on ultra settings at 720p(didn't know resolution was not cpu dependent), it hardly runs on medium. I will probably upgrade when Broadwell or Skylake comes out.
I want to overclock the cpu to get better fps till i upgrade. A small overclock will do. I don't want to push it too much and end up getting my pc fried. I also know that G41 is not good at overclocking. I am new to overclocking. Which is a safe setting to overclock? And what program should i use to stress test to make sure that it is stable?
