Alright, after some time, I will finally be building a complete computer system myself. I was put on a very strict budget, so here what I have to deal with... - Intel Core Duo 2 E4300 CPU - Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3 Mobo - eVGA 7900GT KO GPU - OCZ Special Ops 2GB (2X1GB) PC6400 800Mhz DDR2 (OCZ2SOE8002GK) - Ultra X-Finity 600Watt PSU - 250GB and 80GB Seagate SATA 7200RPM All part's have already been ordered, so I think it's too late for a change. I will be looking to overclock the CPU, but I am a complete noob to overclocking, so please help me with that. I also heard that my mobo is perfect for overclocking, so I hope it is. Please post any comments about my build, and I will update this thread as the parts come in. ***This post is also located on [H]ard Forums.***
seems like a decent mid-range rig , i would first read the overcloers guide on here first and then ask if you start to stuggle as that gives some really helpful advice also some guy wrote a very good guide on overclocking core duo's on P965 chipset somewere but i cant find it EDIT: i obviously didnt look hard enough first time http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=227317
I have bought almost the same config a month ago and so far I very satisfied with it. You can find usefull readings at these links: LINK1 LINK2 my result: my OC
