[ricky]

My specs:
Processer: Intel Q6600 2.4 ghz.
Motherboard: XFX 780i SLI
Graphics card:XFX 9800 GTX
Power supply:Cooler master pro 850 Watt
CPU CASE: COOLER MASTER RA-690-KWN2-GP CM 690 clear side panel with one 120 mm blue LED
I dont have a cooling system so just want to ask how much can I OC WITHOUT COOLER?

Do not overclock without at least using a program to monitor the temp of your cpu, hard-drive.....etc...Overclocking can produce some intense heat and cause severe damage to your systems hardware...I would suggest that you do some research online concerning what you want to get out of overclocking your PC...Learn from mistakes other ppl have made....It is real easy to destroy your Pc in a matter of seconds...

I am no expert on overclocking, but according to my knowledge, I think XFX already overclocks their cards.

OK, and key fact, you cannot overclock without a cooling system. If you want toast, then go ahead.

You can overclock them but you have to watch the temp very closely by using CoreTemp or similiar program.

With stock cooling you can only go up a few hundred Mhz. Graphic card goes even less.

My advise to you is crank it a little bit at a time and one component one time only....So if you run into trouble you know exactly which one is the culprit.

You don't have a cooling system,



If you don't have a FAN, your screwed.



Also, do a ton of research before you go about OC'ing or your gonna fry something....



Don't know much about OC'ing but good luck.


Just curious, why are you OC'ing? You gotta nice system there.
