evga 680i LT mobo question

Celtzer · 31-10-2007, 10:14 PM

Well, I know I have good specs and honestly don't need to overclock, but I am running without vsync so every little bit helps. I am a complete nublet when it comes to overclocking though. I am running a evga 680i LT mobo, with a intel core 2 duo e6850 at 3ghz(stock). I hear that this mobo and cpu overclock real well..... My question is it worth the risk, and if so how would I go about doing it? Thanks alot

The Core2s overclock extremely extremely well. You can add at least 50% gain off of that mobo/cpu combo (even with just air cooling.) We need to know if you have stock cooling or not because that will obviously determine how far you can push that without exceeding your temperature levels.

Ahh nice, sadly I just have stock cooling.. I had a zalman copper beast on my old asus.. but that was forr a pentium 4 3.4ghz.
