Hello all...
please bare with me as this is my first post on overclocking. First, here is my build, so were all on the same page:
AMD A10-6800K 4.1Ghz (stock speed) [APU/CPU]
ENERMAX (after-market) CPU Cooler with 120mm Fan [I'd have to remove from MoBo to see model # (sorry)][but this thing is huge!!!]
Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 16GB (2x8GB) 1866Mhz 9-10-9-27-2N-1.50v [Memory]
ASUS A88X-PRO (FM2+) BIOS v.0703 (12-30-2013) [MoBo]
AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 (XFX Pine Grp) Driver v. 13.251.0.0 [GPU]
Kingston 128GB SSDNow (OS, Programs, etc.) [HD]
Hitachi 1GB SATA Disk Driver (Storage) [HD]
ATAPI SATA CdRom Device
HP DVD Writer CdRom Device
ACER G235H (1920x1080@60Hz) [Monitor]
Cooler Master Storm Scout Mid-Tower Case...all running on
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit SP1
As for "overclocking", my friends all tell me I shouldn't OC my rig. No need to. I agree. But, for the sake of argument, I want to see, hear, feel the difference in my rig once it 'is' OC'd. If it all goes well, then, I will leave it OC'd as I game alot on this rig. (WoW, D3, Crysis 3, BF4, TR, DMC, Hitman and FC3 just to name a few).
So my question(s) are/is as follows: If this was 'your' rig, would you OC it? if so:
[1]: OC'ing APU/CPU to 4.4Mhz, would you change voltage? and to what?
[2]: OC'ing Memory to 2133Mhz, what timings would you use? And voltage?
[3]: If the above are OC'd, would you change the NB timings?
[4]: Lastly, would you OC the GPU? If so, what voltage? What GPU Clock? Bandwidth? Etc...
I know this is alot for a first time question, but, I have tried on my own, but afraid I would destroy somethings warranty so I brought it back down to stock speeds. As is right now, NOTHING is OC'd on my rig. I want to though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you don't have an answer to my question in it's entirety, please feel free to answer any part of it therefore.
Thank you in advance to the OCerz community. I hear nothing but great things about this site.
Yours truly,
