Help me overclock!!
Hey, I'm trying to overclock my Computer in order to play Battlefield 3 at ultrahigh setting flawlessly, I barely got any overclocking experience, and when i overclock to 3.6ghz my computer crashed and turned off while playing battlefield 3. Apparently they told me i didnt overclock right and it was unstable. Like i said before Im new to overclocking.
anyways here's my computer spec
Processor: i7 920 2.6ghz
Video Card: Dual ATI Radeon 5970's
Ram: 6gb
Power Supply: 1100 watts (or 1200)
Operating System: Window 7 home premium 64 bit
HardDrive: 1.15 TB (terabyte)
I have a Alienware Area 51 Desktop, and it has Liquid Cooling and fans that i can be powered up to 100%, apparently it has good venting system (Atleast that what i was told) i currently have it at 3.4ghz and its not crashing. How far can i overclock without worrying about frying any component? Anyways if u leave instructions or suggestion to overclock please list them, and remember im a rookie so try to speak in english, becuase i have a hard time understanding on what people are talking about .
