hi, im new here and have only used overclockers for afew orders so far.
this morning i ordered the following -
Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 740G (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5450 SILENT 512MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Low Profile Graphics Card
AMD Sempron 140 2.70GHz (Socket AM3) Processor - Retail
Western Digital RE2 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD5000YS)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 939 AM2 AM3 775 1156 1366)
OCZ Gold 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low-Voltage Single Channel Module (OCZ3G1333LV2G)
Akasa AK-455 Thermal Compound
thats almost a complete pc for under £200
the rest of the stuff such as case, psu and disc drive i already own.
im planning on overclocking the lot, since this will be my first overclock of a system i brought budget stuff just to test out on.
now, to my question, ive read as well as watched on youtube that the AMD processor i brought can be overclocked to unlock 2 cores.. is this true? (i hope so)
also can the memory and graphics card be overclocked.. i have no idea.
not to worry if not as i plan on keeping this setup for testing and general use, also thinking about putting linux on it so OS wont cost a penny!!
thanks, ste...
stay frosty!!
