Just checking to see if there are any computer modding enthusiasts here? I built my first gaming rig 5 years ago and for 95% of what I do/game it still great. I've been toying with overclocking my cpu and wondered if anyone here has ever done it. I've been reading guides and such from around the net and may give it a go. I have an Intel Core2 Duo E8400 3.0ghz and an Nvidia nForce 780i SLI mobo.
I've only used the stock cooler and have read that you can generally get up to 3.6ghz reliably, without much heat gain and without changing voltages and such. Fairly small OC with modest gain and little side effect. I was just wondering people's opinions, if they've ever done it, how it worked out and such. I realize every situation/cpu is different, but thought I'd check.
