Hello,
So a few months back I built my self a budget PC I mean really cheap. 4gb DDR3 ram, HD 5450, Pentium 4 650 I think only paid about £5 for it. Anyhow It played some games on low to medium settings just fine. But after playing the Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 demo. It worked but a bit of lag was noticable I thought I would upgrade the CPU. So I bought a Core 2 Duo e6400 for dirt cheap.
When I was looking for some information about this CPU. Some sites and youtube video's where going on about Overclocking it. I have never ever overclocked a CPU before. I have read up about over clocking and it says they it can help games run better. Is this right? Is it worth over clocking it? I won't be playing much on there as I all ready have a gaming PC. Maybe the odd play of the new Age Of Empires Online and SWAT 4 and Fallout 3 and maybe Pro Evo 12 when it is out.
Also how do I overclock a CPU lol.
