I'm in the process of building a new PC and when its done I'm wanting to overclock (Never done it before).
The specs are:
MSi Mpower
3770K
8GB DDR3
Arctic Cooling Freezer I30

My question
When i start overclocking I go into bios and change the multiplier (I'll start around 4ghz) and check to see if its stable in prime95. How long do I test in prime95 at this stage as its quite early on?
Once this is done i up the multiplier more if its stable. How long do i test at this point?
If its not stable i up the core voltage. How long do i test at this point?
I hope you can Help :)
