Hi all,
I have recently been planning on buying a new pc butI was wondering if i could be given some tips on what components in my system to overclock and why to maybe prevent me from buying a new one. Here is the EXACT spec (not in profile):
Socket 478 Pentium 4 at 3.06ghz - 533FSB
ASUS P4S8X-X
Hercules Prophet 9800 pro
TwinMos PC 2700 RAM at 333mhz
40GB Seagate Barracuda 5400rpm
When looking at the spec it looks good but you can see that some components are up not up to the standard of others. These being memory, fsb on mobo and hard drive.
The area i need most help in is the mobo. My ASUS is only capable of 533fsb and pc2700 ram, but i read a review that this mobo is amazong for overclokcing but how do i do it!? I want to get that low 533 fsb up to allow me to overclock my slow ram to 400mhz.
Lastly, using the best coolers around, how much juice can i squeeze out of my cpu?
Thanks very much in advance for help. I know it's annoying to describe this to any1 lol.
