so I guess it would be more simple to just oc my graphics card rather than the whole cpu?
I kinda would like overclocking the cpu but I don't wanna take a chance of overclocking the bandwidth of the pci-e slots that i'll have. I can hold off on that until I have experience in ocing. When you were talkin about ocing the cpu you mentioned "adjusting your multiplier". I assume that that has to do with a few pages back when you were explaining this stuff to me. So going back to that, I would have to get software to change my multiplyer, or cpu to RAM communication speed. I'm going to attempt to put this knowledge to use.
The DFI board that I'm getting says it has a FSB of 1000mhz. I'm guessing the multiplyer is 10....100x10. So I would make the pci-e slots independant first. Then I would increase the 100 number to 200 and make the multiplyer five? So, did I do that right?
Okay, so just for now, lets say I was right. I have now oced my cpu to RAM communication. Now I use the program to oc my video card. I increase my core speed and memory until I see "artifacts".
I assume that those are the two things you can oc. So ocing brings faster cpu to RAM communication and faster video card processing. Sounds pretty good to me.
When talking about cooling, I think I'll get a heatsink fan. Do I put that on the athlon 64 chip like what I see in my computer that I am using now? And if I get an Arctic fan for the video card do I set that on top of the video card or do I set these fans on the case walls?
