Hi,
In the past I have either purchased a clocked computer or have had someone do it for me.
I now want to have a go myself.
I've seen the beginners guide and will use that thread for main guidance but it does give a multitude of program's I need.

Can anyone give me the latest list of program's I will need to get the ball rolling??
When I look in the sticky's above, they go back a few years and there are hundreds to choose from.
I'm running W7 64 bit.

I have just purchased the IB 3750k with a Z77 board and additional cooler.
I will also want to clock my GTX560 ti 448 cores (do I just use MSI Afterburner for that??)
Also purchased 16Gb of Samsung green RAM.
I have a 850w Coolmaster PSU already fitted

Thanks in advance.

Prime95, cpu-z, Linx and coretemp should be fine. Use coretemp to keep temps within acceptable parameters, Cpu-z as it gives a good overall picture of things and linx for stress testing. Then I'd switch over to P95 when Linx starts getting a little toasty as IB's seem to not like that/IBT.
