For those that do it, it's more of a hobby than anything. It's no different than people who soup up their cars and never take them to the track.

If you're going to overclock, try to keep voltage bumps to a minimum. Those are what kills components, not how fast it switches. Personally, I always undervolt. Before CPUs became power efficient, I...

Overclocking increased the speed at which I can encode video and render 3D models.
It only uses a little more electricity when I do hardware intensive processes, such as encoding video, rendering,...

What do you mean by "tweaking all components of the system."?
Isn't overclocking so much better? Oh, so what are the benefits of water cooling? I thought it was better, more expensive but overall...

Line returns are your friend. :shake:
Benchmarks will tell you if one high card is better than 2 mid range cards. This is game specific and card specific so I can't say which is better or not at...

Actually video editors that are serious don't overclock. They have really long render times, 5-6 hours would be a minimum for them, days are not uncommon. Overclocking on that long of render times...

Yes OC is so much better, or so they said. :lmao:
Seriously why most people always think their CPUs need OCing in order to perform day-to-day tasks? Meanwhile few people know how to troubleshoot...

Looks pretty good.
I don't have any ram brand suggestions, but others will.
If you're not building/buying for a month or so, that will enable some real SD shopping.
You might come out with a...

Only reason to watercool is if you are an extreem overclocker .... You can still OC some (if you feel you need to) on air just not as much as you can with water cooling.
IMO OC is so overrated...

For that heatsink, it's nice but keep in mind how big it is and what level of "quiet" you're looking for. That will be very quiet and cool much better than stock and is probably aming the best super...

It is my belief that if you intend on overclocking the heck out of your machine but still want it to be quiet, you'll land up spending double your budget or more.
High end overclocked machines make...

I wouldn't recommend a water cooling system unless you really want to spend a lot of time and effort tweaking all components of the system.
Even then, water cooling isn't necessary unless you plan...
