  1. Ok, thanks. I'm trusting you on this... I REALLY don't want to brick my processor.
  2. I don't fully understand what you're saying. Are you saying that there a linear relationship between clock speed and temperature? Because I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
  3. Hm. Are you sure? My brother, who has lots of experience with this kind of stuff, said not to touch voltage when overclocking.
  4. Hm... That doesn't seem like a problem because my CPU, not overclocked, stays under 45 degrees Celsius.
  5. Yes, it's stock cooling. Does that mean that the limiting factor is temperature-related problems?
  6. Hi, I can't afford a dedicated GPU at the moment, so I'm stuck with Intel HD 4600 Integrated Graphics. Desperate to squeeze as many frames out of my games as possible, went to overclocking. I decided to use the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility because it was first-party, and 3DMark for benchmarking and comparing results. But after my control(base clock) & 1st overclocking test(+200MHz = 1350MHz according to XTU), I realized that I could brick my processor. And sure enough, at my 2nd overclocking test(+400MHz = 1550MHz according to XTU), my computer froze. I restarted it and, luckily it was fine, but I didn't want to take any more risks. So I'm here. I already figured out what dedicated GPU I'm going to get when I have the money, but for now I'm stuck with this. So, my question is, what is a safe overclocking margin for this processor? How much can I overclock before it goes into risky territory? Here are my setup parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BVPL3C Thank you in advance to anyone who replies.
  7. Thanks! But do you know a tool that finds the true MSRP of graphics cards? I'm having trouble finding their actual price.
  8. Thanks! But I'm having trouble finding the price of each graphics card suggested. Do you know any tool for that?
  9. Dude. Relax. That's just a placeholder. I'm gonna get a better one. So what is your GPU suggestion? Thanks for replying btw.
  10. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kPtFNG There's the rest of my build. The power supply is not final, so I don't mind being suggested a high-power usage card.
  11. Hey, I'm looking for a graphics card in the $250-300 USD range. Here's what I want to play: Battlefield 4 (Maximum Graphics, No AA, 1920x1080, 60fps) GTA 5 (Ultra Settings, No AA, 1920x1080, 60fps) I've been looking for over 6 months for the perfect one, but with little to no luck. Help would be EXTREMELY appreciated! Thanks for your time.
