I see lots of comments about overclocking, but I have no come across a link to a primer or basic how to. I saw the comments on the quality of some i7's; I don't appear to be in the danger zone (manuactured March 2010). But I need to get educated on how to monitor, assess whether overclocing is working, etc.
My comment when building this system was that my PC had developed problems, and I had to build without enough money. I had hoped this system was sufficien to add RAM and an upgrade path to hardware MPE.
Any links or suggestions for basic overclocking on this system? I don't feel a need to push it, just to stretch a bit.
(My obvious number 1 need is more RAM, but that will have to wait.)
(My ppbm5 results did not post, but I need to redo them with the few tweaks I have in place. They look in the lowest quartile, which is probably about right for stock i7 with 7G ram.)
Thanks, Stan
