Alright sweet. Thanks dude.

Thanks for the feedback dude. But how will I know the max I can set it? How will I know if my rig is stable or not? Through Prime95 testing?

How do I know how far is enough? Will my rig crash if it goes too far?

So I have an AMD A6-5400K Dual-Core 3.6GHz CPU and I just bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Heat Sink for it. It gets a max of 70-75 degrees Celsius when under %100 load on 1.440 volts. Is that voltage sufficient enough for a clock speed of 4.5GHz? If not then what would it be sufficient enough for? Thanks for the help guys!

Whenever I click on something, a small I'd say 20x90 pixel (estimate) rectangle shutters in the near middle of my monitor. I'm running a 1280x1204 VGA monitor (I know it's old, upgrading to a 1080p monitor very soon), and I am using the VGA adapter that MSI supplied with the card to transfer over to the DVI input of my GPU. Is the card creating this problem? Or is it the monitor? Or is it the cord due to the VGA adapter I had to use? Thanks for your help guys!

Yes, of course.

I'm on a vacation right now and obviously away from the parts. I'll let ya know when I get back.

Yep! I'll be overclocking! Didn't buy a Cooler Master 212 Evo for nothing...

Are there any good bundles you could recommend me that come with both an i5 (whichever gen is recommended while still being affordable) and a Z97 that will be a fair price next year?

Well then I guess next year when I want to I'll just order a new motherboard that supports a good 8 core CPU like the F8350 (I think that's the name). Might as well spend the extra cash and not have to worry about upgrades for a few years.

Ah ok that'd be a lot better. Is there an upgrade from that with the same chipset and 6 cores?

There; I fixed it. Sorry for not reviewing my post before I entered it. -.- Anyway, that sounds pretty good and I'll most certainly strive to get those clock speeds.

Awesome! Thanks dude.

Alright... That's not insane so I can cope with that for now. Besides it will definitely be a huge upgrade in performance from my GT 610. I'm hoping to upgrade my CPU sooner or later though. Any recommendations for an upgrade with the same chipset?
