CCC ??? Good for Ovelclocking?

CBrooksC · 15 Dec 2011 at 09:45

Just a random question. I use CCC's (Catalyst Control Centre) overdrive feature for my CPU and GPU is that a good way to overclock or should I do it manually. also i was thinking about water cooling and wither it was worth doing...

LOL the title is meant to say 'CCC ??? Good for Overclocking'

it's mildly ok for clocking, but it don't offer anywhere near the control you would have for clocking your Cpu in the Bios for instance.

as for graphics cards, I'd recommend Sapphire TriXX

as for watercooling Connor, don't waste your money

Get Afterburner, it does pretty much the same thing as CCC

Yip afterburner is a lot better and easier to use than CCC tbh..looks better too

Another vote for afterburner. As for watercooling it depends how high you want to take the cards and how much you can stand the fan noise.

also recommend msi afterburner, but trixx does pretty much the same

for cpu overclocking, always use the bios, you usually get it higher and cooler that way.

as for watercooling, it can be expensive, for a decent loop inc. gpu it would easily be over £200 (afaik, ask the boys in the watercooling section

)
