so stick around *buts fingers to head and makes a shoting sound"

thx for da vid :) , havent tried to overclock yet not very confident in it :| cuz of the warranty voiding issue , but maybe in time when i feel my cpu is getting to slow, i would consider, its a i5-2500k so sooner or later i should consider doing it :P, but i would definitely need a better cooler then the stock one i am using now :S.....

[BudgetPCGaming]

@raptor619 Don't worry too much about it man. The only way you CPU will break is if you icrease the voltage over the recommended amount, which you will find on intel's website (and you do not need to go no where near it) and you can break it by letting it reach temperatures over 75 degrees for a long time. Try to keep it below 70 under load though.

[raptor619]

@BudgetPCGaming cheers man thx for ur advice, i plan on running in at 4.5ghz while not exceeding 1.40 - 1.42V, and hoping if i cld run prime below 70C.

1. Can a CM 212+ achieve those numbers i mentioned?

2.anyways whats the purpose of increasing the voltage when overclocking?

[BudgetPCGaming]

@raptor619 No, those numbers are very unrealistic man. Even with water cooling it would be very hard to achieve those temperatures at 4.5GHz. Voltage is like giving the CPU more horsepower in order for the CPU to be able to run faster.

Hey man, can you do a video of a core unlocking of your processor amd athlon x3 450 :)

[BudgetPCGaming]

@MrPikachuHater All you do is go into the BIOS and you enable the "core unlocker" feature man.. Too simple to make a video on it, to be honest, sorry dude :/

[MrPikachuHater]

@BudgetPCGaming I know mate but I did almost everything, but no good. I just pres 4 at startup and in the bottom of screen it says x2. Thanks anyway :)

[BudgetPCGaming]

@MrPikachuHater For some CPUs the 4th core is just totally unstable and it's impossible to unlock.. bad luck mate :/ No worries :)

[MrPikachuHater]

@BudgetPCGaming Ok, thanks for your help :)

[tortoisemark]

@CaptainNeffey its alright, the only games I have played on it is fallout 3 and minerals and they both run smoothly at high FPS on max graphics. I am hoping to get bf3 and see how it preforms with that

[tortoisemark]

@BudgetPCGaming thanks so much for the advice man !!

[BudgetPCGaming]

@tortoisemark No problem!

[Terratide]

I also forgot to mention that im using the same cooler and case as you

[BudgetPCGaming]

@Terratide Yes, you should definitely overclock it! Those temperatures are more than low enough.

[Terratide]

I have just recently bought a PC and it came with an AMD FX4100 and a 400W PSU. on idle my CPU is at 12 degrees celcius and on full load it is 28 degrees celcius. My question to you is wether you reccomend i should overclock it or not. Thanks

[CaptainNeffey]

@Terratide I just bought an AMD FX4100 and I'm waiting for it to come in! I'm excited! How does it perform?

[Terratide]

@CaptainNeffey Pretty much what tortoisemark said. Its good but it could do with some overclocking

[chuchofreeman]

I just saw this, your SO is in spanish! Do you speak spanish? I'm from Mexico haha

[chuchofreeman]

@chuchofreeman Oh no, it's not spanish, but a similar language, what language is it?

[davidvu396]

how hot is the CPU when you are gaming?

[BudgetPCGaming]

@davidvu396 Between 50 and 55 degrees (celsius)

[BudgetPCGaming]

What other tutorials would you guys like me to do?

[Tsinepanos]

@BudgetPCGaming cpu usage on the games with this 3x athlon its vwry usufull if you want play very hard games like bf3

[jackblack644]

@BudgetPCGaming Could you make a tutorial on installing fans in the Asgard case?

[BudgetPCGaming]

@jackblack644 You just screw them in man. Just make sure they are facing the right side (intake or exhaust).

[chuchofreeman]

@BudgetPCGaming Overclocking memories please! Also, how do I know which side is correct (for the fans)? , I've been wondering that some days.

[thetimsva]

Very good! (y)

[BudgetPCGaming]

@thetimsva Thanks :)

[eLstupido16]

Nice! my idol... hahahahah

Thanks so much!

Straight to the point!
