Hi guys,
just looking for some advice, i am looking to overclock my cpu for the first time as im doing more and more 3D work and i'd like better performance with the rendering times. I know i need to get another gig of RAM in the machine but money is tight, being a student so cant afford a new CPU.
Machine specs(taken from cpuz)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
MOBO: GigaByte 965P-S3
RAM: Memory type DDR2
Module format Regular UDIMM
Manufacturer (ID) GEIL (7F7F7F1300000000)
Size 512 MBytes //(X2)
Max bandwidth PC2-5300 (333 MHz)
PSU: Unsure at the mo but can be found if needed
EDIT: Full cpu txt is at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/l.beeny/cpuz.txt
I'm using the stock cooler atm but i expect that i will have to buy a better cooler to get better speeds.
Anyway i'm just wondering:
1. what speeds i could expect with this set up with the stock cooler
2. what speeds i could expect with a better cooler (and a recommendation of a good cheapish cooler) and
3. what RAM to add to the set up.
I hope this makes sense any questions please ask and any advise would be great.
Thanks for your time
