So I am fairly happy with my computer so far, but I wanted to unleash some more of it's potential.
That is why I am thinking about overclocking, but I need some advice and help since I'm pretty new to it.
What I currently have:
ASUS M2N-E motherboard with nForce 570 Ultra chip-set
AMD 64 X2 5000+ (normal edition, not black or something)
400 Watt PSU (good brand, don't know the name anymore)
2x 512MB RAM and 2x 1024MB @ DDR2-553 4-4-4-12 2T
I still have a stock cooler, but I can buy a new one.
I was thinking about the Coolermaster Hyper TX 2, but if you have some other great one you can choose it from this page: http://graficall.nl/Producten~category~ … elers.aspx (but not to expensive please)
After that, how should I overclock it? I think I need to up the FSB from 200.0 to something higher.
But what kind of steps should I take? And what about the V-Core?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
