FREE POWER WITH OVERCLOCKING
LEARN THE BASICS AND UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR NEW SYSTEM
IF YOU ARE relatively new to the PC building scene, the word overclocking may send shivers down your spine. But fear not, the reality is not that scary. We aren’t aiming to turn your CPU temps up so high that you could huddle around your PC in the middle of a snow storm just to gain a few extra FPS. We will be using simple methods and a variety of tips and tricks to squeeze some extra power from your new build. If you’ve made the bold choice to buy and build your new PC, then why not aim to get the most out of it?
Overclocking may at first seem like a process only achievable by the most experienced underground hackers on the deep underbelly of the dark web, but it’s much easier than you may think. One thing to be aware of though is that there is always the potential to fry your components. So, when attempting to overclock, always test in small increments as having to buy new parts won’t make this a free upgrade anymore. We will be using tools such as MSI’s Afterburner, MSI Kombustor, NZXT’s CAM software, and the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to improve this already impressive machine.
