Overclocking.....

After hours of searching the internet on forums, sites, and other helpful chat and information centers i have simply failed to find a person who could explain what you need to do and how you need to do things to overclock my pc. If anyone knows of a forum where there is a detailed in depth article on overclocking for begginers, or can simply tell me all of the things i will need to overclock my pc such as a program or a simple screw driver it would be greatly appreciated.

next time try using google.com. you should also use the search functions and dig through old forum topics and look in areas that you normally wouldn't. overclocking is a very common question, so i am wondering why you didn't find your answer within a few minutes.

people will not spoonfeed you info on what you want unless you find someone who has enormous patience. this is a place you should start at:
