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.....

@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.

@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.

@BudgetPCGaming Ok, thanks for your help :)

[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 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 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 :/

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