If you can’t be bothered to learn these basic concepts, then it may be that this endeavor is not for you. Yes, there are easier and shorter paths you can take, but without at least knowing these basics you are rolling the dice with your hardware. Only what you REALLY need to know to begin down this path. It may seem like an awful lot of information, but much of this is simply trying to explain to you the very most basic aspects of overclocking. For everybody else, please continue reading. Overclocking can, and every day, does, ruin somebody’s hardware because they didn’t take the time to see the whole picture however if you really feel you need the quick and dirty version of how to validate your overclock, because you already know the basics on how to configure the settings, then scroll down to the bottom for a summary version of validating your overclock. If you are not inclined to do that then I suggest you simply stay with the stock configuration and forget about it! If you don’t bother to learn, and fully understand, what it is you are doing! To really mess things up or destroy something Overclocking IS one of those things where you can definitely know JUST enough If you are going to overclock, I highly recommend you read the entire tutorial rather than just jumping to the parts you think are going to get you where you want to be. There's more than one way to pluck a chicken and not everybody is right handed, so there's going to be differences between the way people do things sometimes, however, I believe the methods offered below to be sound and are based on years of overclocking as well as a great deal of information from other folks I've picked up including our Intel Temperature Guide author CompuTronix, long time overclocker 4Ryan6, our late memory guru Tradesman1 and a long list of others who have shared their time and experience with me. If you are an accomplished overclocker and you prefer doing things differently, that's ok. This is only intended as a minimal, basic, general guide and tutorial for those who have no idea how to overclock or how to verify that the overclock they have already configured is thermally compliant and at least reasonably stable. Either that or you're a long time overclocker interested in seeing whether I had any eye opening insights that you may have been lacking. Again, correct me if my thinking is wrong.Īll I need now is a good quality hose recommendation (clear in color, please), as I know that leak-free operation is very dependant on hose quality (at least in automotive land it is).If you found your way here it's likely you are looking for help with basic overclocking.
It's not like this thing is going to see 100+psi.
In all my automotive adventures I've had much better luck with simple barbs sealing well rather than fancy compression fittings.
I know the Heatkiller seems to be king of the world, but is it really necessary for my setup?Įverything will use 3/8" barbs. Good brand? Is it actually double thick? It looks it. If an H50 works so well with that single row 120mm radiator, a double thick 120mm seems like plenty. Seems nice and simple, takes up less space this way. I've tried to pick name brands that I see many on here using, but I'm completely new to this so correct me where I've gone wrong. I just want parts that are good quality for the money, won't leak/break in a year, and will work well enough (doesn't need to be top-of-the-line).
