I havn't even recieved my parts yet, i baught it all and it's due on thursday (In my sig).
I told myself i wouldn't overclock, "theres no need to adam, this will run stuff fine as it is, whats the point".
Then i read other peoples views, one being "not overclocking an e6600 wouldnt even be an option, why keep it underclocked @ 2.4 when its capable of much more, and safely"
This has convinced me, now, your opinions on that? And a little more, i've never overclocked, i've read a little bit about it, i'm not certain that im confident, but i won't jump straight into it.
Heres my motherboard - now i have no clue if this is any decent, overclocking wise, or what, im not sure, im not even sure how overclocking a CPU affects the mobo or w/e, or whether i'd be O/Cing them both.
Moreover - the only cooling that'll be going on in on the CPU is the stock stuff, whatever comes with it. BUT, i have got the Antec900 coming my way, and apparently the cooling in it, is a beast.
Whats your opinions on the matter? I don't want to leave it at its stock speed if it can go alot higher with ease.
(PS my friend has it stock, same case, same PSU, same gfx too actually lol ;p @ 3ghz.)
Thanks in advance.
(PS im not asking HOW to do so (yet) im just asking opinions, and how high you actually reckon i could get it with the stock cooling and the antec900's sick cooling).
