https://pcpartpicker.com/user/JFKomicix/saved/KpBGGX (https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-2400c17d-8gis ((the ram)))That is the build I have right now and im fairly happy with everything except one stick of ram died on me and now im down to four. Either way that got me thinking of ways I could speed up my computer I do not necessarily need the extra fps on games. But I have been pretty interested in building computers for a few years now and have always been scared of overclocking, because of the fact that I hear that it has a chance of damaging your stuff. Should I try to overclock this i5-6600k or would it just not be worth my time on learning how to do a basic tune up on it? There is a setting in my bios that is called "EZ OC" and I tried setting it to "Performance" but its just not that stable I get blue screens too often with it. I would be happy if someone could show me the ropes a bit and maybe point some articles my way to just get me to understanding maybe the basics? Or if it's just not worth it and I should just go get more ram ? Thanks!

Why/how did you use 5

 

Overclocking is easiest if you follow a youtube guide, they cover lots of info and there are many out there to help you get a feel for it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

that ram should come with life time warranty, I may be wrong though
