Hi guys. I'm pretty new here and this is my first post.
I have a crap load of questions that I need answering. I figured I will just start out by listing my specs.
OS: Win 7 32bit
CPU:Intel E6500 @ 2.96 per-core (dual)
RAM: 2GB DDR3 @ 533 (I have 4GB of corsair DDR3 @ 1333 coming in the mail(I plan to make a ramdisk with the left over RAM( Someone plz tell me which parts of a game to put on the RAMdisk to make it run faster)))
MB: Gigabyte G41MT-D3
GPU: nVIDIA GT 430 1024mb VRAM
Monitor:ACER X193W @ 1440/900 (I know its an old and ****ty monitor)
additional info: I live in australia so overheating might be a bit more of a problem for me cuz it gets pretty hot down here
question #1
I wish to overclock my CPU and this being my first OC im a little nervous. Is it safe to OC this CPU? How far should I go? What is a safe temperature? at the moment it sits at 35C but it is a rainy day so I wouldn't be able to say how hot it gets on a normal day
question #2
almost exact same question as #1 but about my GPU.
question #3
Which OC software would you reccomend
question #4
I have the Gigabyte ATX midtower Case. Am I going to need extra cooling things?
question#5
If I were to do another upgrade. Which part should I do first?
(nothing uber expensive seeing as I don't have a whole lot of money)
question#6
can someone plz help me with a RAMdisk?
thank you for reading!
