You can start by reading this book. Thats the book we use in my computer architecture class. You do not need any advanced math other than converting numbers between binary, hex and decimal.
overclocking with core2duos and core2quads was different. If I remember correctly the only thing you have to do( for locked chips anyway) is raise the fsb and disable any power settings such as speed step.
Edit:
I found this nice guide on anandtech forums https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/howto-overclock-c2q-quads-and-c2d-duals-a-guide-v1-7.47089/
Even if your ping was 10ms, you are playing a very demanding game through wifi.
Any wireless network is half duplex, meaning you can only send or receive data but not both at the same time.
switch to ethernet and you will see a HUGE improvement.
well, they can easily generate usernames or use common combinations.
Another thing is that skype apparently disabled the login attempt limit during the MS merge. So hackers can try unlimited number of passwords for any given username. A bot or script can do this in minutes of even less.
Damn this is big, just look at the Skype forums https://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/bd-p/Security_and_Privacy
Apparently they are using passwords from old hacks such as Linkedin and myspace to see if they match Skype usernames.

Check if your name/email appears on https://haveibeenpwned.com/
I found my email in the myspace hack from a few years ago.
I woke up this morning to find a security alert in my phone. The message was from Microsoft so I was worried to say the least. Long story short, my skype account was hacked and used to send spam( or phishing) urls to my contacts.
I did some googling and I found this:

Keep an eye in your Skype account, enable 2 way authentication and disable your skype alias for sign in
Hi and welcome to the forum.
the short answer is get the best card you can afford. For 144Hz a 1070 is the minimum, but I would get the 1080 just to be sure.
Yes the turbo is basically a reference card. All blower coolers run a lot hotter. If you are in a tight budget get the asus dual of the zotac amp edition.
it is not a virus, bf1 is cpu intensive and poorly optimized despite what linus said in his video.
So, I guess you are running the latest patch and the latest geforce drivers,right?(new drivers came out today). Have you tried the maxvariablefps mod?
This is NOT a driver, hardware or configuration issue of any kind. This is a bug within BF1.

You can try the maxvariable fps fix and setting the bf1 process to high priority. It helped me a bit.
I hope DICE fixes this issue soon.
