Favorite parts to overclock?

ryan29121 · 10-30-07, 01:47 PM

I'm about to build a new gaming PC and i am looking forward to overclocking it, but i was wondering what are your favorite parts to overclock with? Any particular parts you had the most success with?

Parts like:
Motherboard
RAM
CPU

I heard the q6600 CPU was a good one. What others do you like?

For gaming performance the best thing to OC is your graphics card.

The Q6600 is a good OCer, and there are other dual core chips that have tons of OCing potential.

My E6600 is for sale, for example.

All you need to overclock is the CPU and GPU.
