The term overclocking may be new to most people. Over the next few weeks we will be covering the basics of overclocking and overall system performance.

The gains you can expect from overclocking would surprise you, and who doesn’t want a faster pc. I plan to cover the basics from board selection to aftermarket cooling using stock heatsink / fan combos to watercooling and even a little extreme sub-zero cooling just for kicks. Also we can discuss the effect different chipsets and components can have on your ability to wring the most performance possible out of a given processor. For the most part we will be looking at the Intel Core 2 duo series of cpu’s but almost all of the tems and processes discussed are universal. Amd folks will not be left out!

I will also be giving our readers my impressions of the new boards on the market from the p35 and x38 chipsets.I plan to test the new boards in real world testing , since i use the boards i am testing as my 24/7 pcs. i don’t believe in setting up a board just for tests as it may not reveal the problems most users would encounter in their daily useage. The first board i will be covering is the DFI Lan Party p35 UT. It is definitely an enthusiasts board with a massive amount of bios options to keep even the most hardcore tweaker satisfied, as well as being easily set-up by the first time builder.

Stay tuned to Motherboardpro for more.
