Overclocking Help

[BiGDeE]

So, i bought a new computer, and i wanna over clock it, the setup is..


Asus m4a78-em mobo
Amd athlon II X2 240 CPU
and 4 gigs of pc6400 ram


its got a 600 watt power supply

Stock CPU Fan/heatsink but has a case fan and up front of case is open.

So basically i am just wondering what kinda overclocking i can do and what kinda results people have seen, please let me know

is it a custom computer or a brand name?

why do you want to overclock? your not gonna notice any difference with the amount of overclock possible. If you just wanna overclock to say that you did it then fine.. I can help

just know that it can shorten the life of your mobo and cpu and it really isnt gonna do much

Ah, i was hoping for a significant speed increase for loading screens in wow, running multiple programs, just the basics hehe..

I suggest you get a water cooler before over clocking, you really shouldn't have any issues with that setup.

Intel Quad 2.66/2.67ghz
6gb Ram.
I know next to nothing about hardware.
Will overclocking improve my performance at all? I have no real reason to, everything loads pretty quickly, but if you guys say it'll make a difference I don't see why not.

Overclocking does show a nice performance if DONE RIGHT. If you're content with your current settings though, I wouldn't suggest it. It's more or less for the computer enthusiasts who want that faster then fast feeling with their pc.
