CPU & GPU Overclocking help - 08/14/13 06:33 AM
Hey,
I have an i5 3570k and an intel 660ti. I'm very outdated on the art of overclocking. I can find a guide myself, but are there any general pointers and warnings I should know? I've heard that it's unsafe to adjust the base clock. I can see how it could quickly make the board unstable, but don't understand "unsafe." Could just be tech boy drama...could someone enlighten me?
Also, I hear the 660ti doesn't support volt modding -- Nvidia's way of making us buy more. If the old bios flashing tools are still around, can volt increases be unlocked?
