I've recently purchased a 5960X and Asus Deluxe USB3.1 board and have a few questions as previous setup was AMD.
Looking to start overclocking it and wanted to double check a couple of things.
Is my power supply suitable to run my machine or should I be looking to replace for a higher wattage/better rated one especially if looking to overclock?
What overclock should I be looking to achieve - the CPU is a L batch? Believe 4.5Ghz is rated an average chip?
I've looked through a couple of online guides and the general consensus seems to be not to go over 1.3V on air so will avoid that and 80C is the max you want to go to?
Specs:
i7 5960X
Asus X99 Deluxe USB3.1
Kingston Fury 32GB 2400Mhz
Noctua PH-TC14PE
Gigabyte Windforce 7850 2GB
XFX Pro 650W 80 Bronze
2 x Kingston HyperX 248Gb SSD's
CoolerMaster CM690 II Advanced
