hey guys,
i'm really new to overclocking and am just wondering a couple of questions. I actually just bought all the parts mentioned below a couple of days ago, almost a whole new system really.
Heres my system specs:
Processor - E6550 2.33Ghz C2D
GFX Card - 8800GTS 320MB Gigabyte
RAM - 2GB 800Mhz
Mobo - GA-P35-DS3
OS - Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Questions:
1. What does the term "burn in" mean?
2. For my graphics card, a lot of guides i have read about overclocking say to turn the PCI-E frequency thing to 100Mhz but when i did that my GFX card went all crappy and games were performing very bad. Heres a pic from my BIOS (the red rectangle is around the part im wondering about):
