$265 for that Dell might be a little too much though.

a lot of bios have built OC's... for instance my BIOS automatically OC's my processor from 3.5 to 3.9 ghz

just like you though I dont know how to manually OC even though everyone tells me its easy

but ive been hard pressed to actually go from 3.9 to 4.5

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

i've never OC'd my rig...my bios has a setting for this but i'm afraid to use it.

I did that but I read you get more performance if you oc it yourself. Also in BF4 it felt like the game was a lot smoother when I ran the game with my own OC as opposed to the built in oc settings.

yo you guys gotta OC lol. Gotta get that free performance, esp for games. I never OCed before but after reading up on the performance gains Im down to do that shyt

Never OC'd either...

Not afraid to do it just don't feel the need to...

My i5 4670k been killing every game...

 

[itsyoung!!]

I OC the shyt out of my video card if im playing something like Battlefield, but let BIOS handle my CPU OC

So after my overclock, it's taking about 10-20 seconds longer to boot up my computer (it stays on the windows 8 startup screen for a bit longer than normal, goes to a black screen for a second, and them takes longer to get into windows after logging in). It's nothing crazy, but it's a little weird. I was stable with prime 95 and have no problems with crashes in games or anything like that.

The internet seems to say that a longer boot up might be a problem, but others are saying it's normal after an overclock. Is the longer boot time something I should be concerned with? Or is this just something you deal with when overclocking?

Edit: I have an asus sabertooth x79 mobo and I'm at 4.5ghz at 1.25v with a 4820k

Breh I swear you're trying to build a nuclear warhead.

If the overclock is stable I say stick with it. Boot and shutdown times are meh and sometimes Windows drags on both for no reason at all.

Wait until I overclock my gpus
