I've got my E8200 running at 3.6ghz stable on air, not pushed it any further yet, but I'm now wondering about oc'ing my gfx card, so I'm looking for a few pointers.
What type of figures can I expect from an 8800GT 512?
Would I need to change the heatsink/fan on card for something more efficent?
Also thinking about adding some more drives to the system, probably a striped set for boot and a mirrored set for a data dump, however, I'm a little worried about the quality of the PSU in the system and if it will remain stable with 4 drives + OC'ing.
System:
CPU: E8200 @3.6
MEM: OCZ2G8004GK @900
SYS-BD: GigaByte P35-DS3R
GFX: XpertVision 8800GT 512MB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB
PSU: Antec Earthwatts EA-500 (Came with case and itching for an excuse to change it.)
I've had the system for about 8 months now and it's getting to the stage where I wanna squeeze more out of it.
