What to upgrade?

IF you want the CPU fan to run at faster speeds then go into the PC health section at the bottom and disable all fan speed control options for the CPU. but its better with it on as the fan will ramp up as it needs too.
 
I reset CMOS again, and picked the OCUK profile, original one, and boom that new sound kicked in. so sumit mustve gone wrong somewhere :( now im back to original 2.6ghz lol.. successful day overclocking :( i feel so useless when it comes to this stuff! im detirmined to get there though!
 
Hold the deuce, theres a OCUk profile? you never mentioned this before, are you sure its not overclocked at this setting?
 
wait. i just loaded bios, and it seems all settings diffrent.. so your right! looks like an already overclocked profile lol, to 3.4ghz :D

hahahha just my luck, altho good luck i spose i found the profile :D.. i think il stay at this though, thats enough overclocking for me!! lol

3.4ghz is more than enough to match a 7970 right? so ima buy one and an ssd or something. Will upgrade to windows 7 to, but if i buy the upgrade option il have to install vista on the SSD first correct? then upgrade it

I dont have experience with windows upgrades, but I think all you have to do is maybe type the Vista code in or insert the disk for a bit while installing Win7, or I could be wrong.
 
Thats it essentially, but I have read a few people managing to get it re-authorized by phoning up and saying the PC died and a suitable replacement wasn't possible. but its just rumours.

so thats basically the retail with the cd?

Theres definitely a disk supplied:).


*With this overclock and a fast 7970, windows 8 will be out by the time you need to upgrade:D

Ok so can anyone advise me on windows, etc.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-009-CR

Im gonna buy this along with the card etc but, when i get it, do i need to format my current HDD to get rid of vista? and can i do that without losing all my files? then install the SSD, install windows 7 on that then boot from the ssd?

also one thing with the 7970, it needs a 8 pin connection + 6 pin, i only have 6 pin connectors i think currently connected :S

i think you can install windows on the ssd and then transfer files from one hdd to the ssd. i did this but i was transferring from windows 7 to windows 7. its pretty simple but dont format your old drive if you you want to keep the files
 
but for example, if i do all that, wehen my pc is running will the windows 7 on the sssd conflict with the vista on the HDD though? like will some of those vista files still be running? i guess not?
