Posted August 28, 2016 before u overclock your system ask your self first. 1. do I need overclock my cpu? 2. do I know how to overclock? 3.what benefits when I overclock? 4. is my cpu void my warranty. 5. is my cpu reduce lifespan when I overclock it? overclocking there is a pros and cons and when you do overclocking u should have a decent watercool system if u wanna go higher clock overclocking cpu is risky and it not easy you have to get fine tunning to stable your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even need mid/high end air coolers for every overclock. And it is perfectly possible for the motherboard to become the limiting factor before you get to need stronger cooling. All you have to do is to take it slow, move up gradually and find the safe limits of your current setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
