    Random Request

    Hey guys,

    Really random request but i would really like to learn how to overclock. I dont want to risk my computer by experimenting, i just wondered if there was anyone in the local area (SE3, South East London) who would teach for free? or i could at least pay travel cost?

    I have attached a picture of my cpu. I think my computer is pretty fast as it is. and i think it runs fairly hot too though. I have a thermaltake Ultra if that helps.

    Re: Random Request

    You have a Dell computer hence no viable overclocking option available. Unless you have one of the few XPS models that offered overclocking, which doesn't seems like it in your case?

    Simply install Asus Ai Suite and you get to overclock in Windows.
    Would suggest you not to touch the voltage settings however.
