Hello, I have recently purchased a new PC and wish to try out overclocking for the first time ever.
I have spent the last two hours or so reading up on the subject, but I still have no idea to what extent I can overclock my system without frying it.
I wish to OC my system to an average level, not so that I'll need immense amounts of cooling, but so an improvement is noticeable.
I would be grateful if anyone here could help me out... Information on what I should OC my system to would be appreciated, along with as much help as possible on how to do so.
Thank you in advance.
