Default newbie needs help overclocking / installing ssd - 05-07-2012, 08:12 | posts: 172 | Location: belgium

So guys, i bought a new pc.

3570k + Scythe "MUGEN-2 Rev.B cooler.

I would like to overclock this cpu a little bit, with a little bit I mean 4.2-4.4 ghz. I read that I could just go into the bios, change the mulitplier to 44 and leave the rest at auto. Is that the way or should I manually adjust the voltages.

I also bought a SSD and I have no idea how to install that one, put the sata on ahci and thats it?

For the SSD yup, that is it.

For overclocking your best to set your multi to 44 and set the vcore manually. As for how much vcore you will need it will be diff for each chip so i can't really say and i don't know IB yet enough to guess. Maybe start at 1.25v and go down.

This is my complete pc



Is there anything i should watch out for when im installing the pc?

note: the extra card is for my other pc.

When you say start at 1.25v do you mean always try to put it lower and test it with prime or is there an other way.
