Hi,
I have just finished building my new PC and i have a few question that hope someone here will be able to help me with.

The components i am using are:

CPU(+fan)/RAM/Mobo -> http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-063-OE
Graphics -> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-174-OK
HDD -> https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-252-SE


1) I am using the i5 2500 overclocked bundle, but the overclocking does not appear to be activated. I've had a quick look around the BIOS and couldnt see anywhere to active it, but to be honist im not really sure what i am looking for. Could anyone give me some advice on how to active this or point me to a guide?

2) I have just discovered that my new graphics card is only able
to support 1 VGA monitor, but i currently have 2 VGA monitors
and i need them both active.

I have another graphics older card (GTX 260 GS) which i would be happy to use for my second monitor but im not sure if i have sufficient power
for all of my components.

I currently have a 550W PSU, Would this be enough to safeley power
the components i listed above and the additional graphics card?
(Note: I am not using anything other what is listed above, no extra fans, CD-drives etc)

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi,
I assume you are asking me where i am reading the CPU speed from on my PC? I am reading it from Windows System Info and i it also appears to display as 3.30 on the main the BIOS

Regarding the graphics card, i am currently using a VGA -> DVI converter on both monitors, from what ive read i believe the problem is with converting the DVI-D port to VGA.
 
Thanks for the links to the stress testing tools, it appears the CPU is overclocked and working correctly :)

Anyone able to offer any further advise regarding the graphics card?
