First ever overclock: 1090t + NH-D14

[SmoulderingCircuits]

I'll be getting the cooler in next week or so, and while teacher blabbered about macbeth have been working out a range of overclocks i'd like to aim for:

- 205 x 18.5 = 3.7925 Ghz

- 205 x 19 = 3.895 Ghz

- 210 x 19 = 3.99 Ghz

- 215 x 19 = 4.085 Ghz

I've done my research and have a rough idea what volts to use, anywhere between 1.41 ~ 1.45; is that reasonable or being my first overclock have i given you all some noobishness to laugh at?

What i'd like to know is what volts do you recommend and which of the target frequencies above do you think i should aim for - could i even go further (most reviewers say it becomes unstable at 4.2 upwards)

Its pointless to talk about it till you have the kit in front of you dude

as there are lots of other things with AMD you need to consider untill you have the kit and are in the BIOS it will just be too confusing.

I hope you get what you want, dude. I was very disappointed with my processor so, just in case, don't have hopes too high.
