As far as the processor is concerned, most the time it's done through the bios. However there are some motherboards that come with programs to do it while running Windows. You could use either way but I'd suggest bios if you were wanting it to stay every time you booted up. The reason I say that is because the programs that you can OC with will not load your settings until either Windows has started or you tell it to (at least not the one I've used).

And for the graphics card it depends on brand card you use. I dont know about ATI, but for my NVIDIA I just used the desktop manager to change the clock frequencies.

yeah milla, videocard overclocking is easier than getting into gervs pants. cpu overclocking isnt that complicated once you know what youre doing.

Beautiful, link me to your RAM anti. i need good ram for my 3700 +

mine - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820145523

i know theres alot of better choices out there, but i dont know exactly what they are. i hear some brands work better with amds so i would ask akuma or search around. i know amds love their low latencys though. what type does your motherboard take (ddr400/pc3200, ddr533/pc4200, etc)?

DDR400, i havent gotten the mobo yet, but im in the process of looking for a good one. I have a Gigabyte in mind right now.

Thats good for a AMD 3700+?

as i said, im not too sure which fits best with amd's, but im guessing it's not really that much of a significance. that link would be my choice, ive never heard anything bad about ocz's ram

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820145504

Ive had that in mind...but the numbers of the timing look high dont they? eek:

Na I had some that was in the 5s and 6s before with the exception of the first digit.
Heres a link Milla, that I think may help you understand all these meanings better than I can explain it: http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=320351

Anti wins for best case.

Oh so its "the mick" you fucking cuss:

i dont see whats so great about anti's case.

i like this case a lot..

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811133132

or the silver one.

Tsunami case looks decent. I sorta prefer full tower cases but they can get akward as well, midi tower cases just usually look better but a lot of the time its hard to work inside them with the limited space.

What's that?

Yeah, I like full tower too. Mine is full tower. biggrin:

I have that case and it sucks.

The build quality is terrible. The panels are flimsy and easily dented. The positioning of many components are terrible.You can't even put in a PSU without removing the motherboard.

Stay away from all Thermaltake.

buy your own case and mod it. I plan on redoing mine in a mettalic black, etc

It's not that hard to build a decent system for around a thousand dollars, but you do have to work at it. Buy your big ticket items at Neweeg, but wait for a shipping free weekend. I think there is one a month. Don't buy a high dollar fancy-smancy case. Watch your local outlets like Best Buy, CompUSA, and Micro-Center. They have sales all the time. I bought my DVD/CDRW of $25.00 on sale. I even bought an 80mm heatsink/fan and a duct for the CPU. With a copy of XPsp2 I still spent less than $1200.

I have been humbled by the installation of liquid cooling. Five hours and a near nervous breakdown later, however, it is running perfectly and my CPU is nice and chilled. rock:

5 hours eek:

Took me 3 eek:

biggrin:

Took me 20 minutes (minus leak testing) to installed a Danger Den TDX for my friend.
