Brand new System- Need OC/Optimization advice
Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2006 12:27 pm
Greetings all!
I am new to the forums, and have read many posts, but I have decided to just put myself out there and explain my situation. I want to optimize my PC to include over clocking, but I don't have ANY experience in doing so. I am completely new to this sort of thing. I will happily take suggestions as to what I should look at doing. This build was the first computer that I have built (together with an informed person with experience so I did not make a huge and costly mistake). I will list the components:
AMD 3700+ San Dieago Processor:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6819103539
2 Gigs of Cosair XMS RAM:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6820145486
ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6813131524
ASUS 7900 GT NVIDA Video Card:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6814121003
Maxtor Hard Drive, 7200 RPM, 200GB
G15 Logitec Gamer Keyboard.
I have a clear side panel ATX Case that came stock w/ 5 cooling fans.
2.1 Speakers, yada, yada.
Anyway, That is hopefully all you need to know to tell me where I mgiht start. My Mobo came with "AMD Cool & Quiet". I think is is an auto overclocker, but I have not messed with it yet.
Any and all advice is welcomed and MUCH Appreciated! I love Legit Reviews (they influinced me buying the 7900 GT Video card).
Thanks in advance!
