First i have a asus sabertooth x58 and corsair ram . I was looking in the bios and under ia i can see i can use xmp and it looks like it well put my ram from 1033mh to 1600mh and my ram is a 1600mh set.
Is it a safe thing to do. The other question is i got a corsair h60 as a gift do yall think it weel be better than a v6gt cooler master air cooler
Ocir,
Well, try it to find out, that is how all overclockers do it. If it doesn't work, go back into the BIOS and change it back, simple as that. And liquid coolers are better than air coolers, though sometimes louder. It will drastically lower temps. However, don't get any holes in the tubing else your GPU and more will get wet.
Ocir,
That is something you will have to determine yourself. Most likely, the improvement will be unnoticeable, but you can test it with 3rd party utilities or see if it makes any difference in the WEI scoring in windows. Overclocking is good for things like games, but the more you do it, the more your CPU will wear down due to use.
