NeroFour Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Hey guys. Never have OC'd before, and wondering if I can get some advice on what my proper settings would be to push it to at least 4ghz or over. Here are my current settings: Running with DDR3 memory (Corsair) x58 SLI classified motherboard Coolermaster HAF 942 Case 295 GTX (Co-Op) Windows 7 64 bit I've looked into the beginner guides but I just want to be pointed in a better direction for specific settings. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeroFour Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Using the stock fans that come with the HAF case. Would I need a new set of fans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I think they are asking what FHS you have on the CPU. the stock intel one or an aftermarket one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Just to go out on a whim and say if you are using the factory Intel cooler then i would suggest not overclocking. Depending on what case you have being the haf933 or 912 or 922 there can be a number of comparable hsf's that can be used to overclock the system. If you have the 932 there may not be an end to what you could use and if its the 922 or 912 you will be limited by space but till then Im awaiting your reply. Boinker.

NeroFour Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I'm using the stock cooler that it came with. Sorry for being vague. What kind of fan can someone recommend me that I can use to OC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Not just the fan the whole heatsink unit, I doubt you can achieve 4GHz+ with the stock... unless you want to overheat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Think about buying an after market cooler to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
