Well to start with I think that the cooler that you have mentioned here is not that correct, the reason for this is that I have not read much about this and I have not even noticed the same here a lot and I think that it will be great if you can have something other than this. Well I have heard names of some of the cooler and I would like to name them here: Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Cooler; Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme CPU Cooler and Zalman CNPS9700 LED CPU Cooler. Well if at all you want to have the coolers in your case then I think that you should have one among the above. Well before going with the overclocking the most important think that you need to have is the cooling mechanism with you and I am happy that you had it on the first priority.

You have mentioned that you are new to the Overclocking then let me tell you that overclocking is an art that requires a lot of experience behind and if not done properly then you are bound to get caught with difficulties here. While proceeding with the Overclocking you are required to check for a lot of things here even a slight change in the frequency can cause the destruction of the whole rig. Well I am telling you the fact like what will happen if you do not do it properly. If you are ready to go with the consequences then I think you can proceed here with this.

I will try to help you with the Overclocking here and see if you get this done in a proper manner. Please see the steps below:

• First of all please be equipped with all the tools that you may require like screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, motherboard manual, cooling hardware, etc.
• See for the BIOS and the Jumpers
• Also before proceeding see what is the clock-speed of the Motherboard
• Before you go with the Overclocking please make sure that you have all the applications running well on the system.
• Please make a back up copy of all the DATA that you have on your system if something wrong happens you can have the backup with you.
• Now turn off the system
• Unplug all the Wires and then also unplug all the peripheral components that are connected to the CPU
• Now just open the case of the CPU
• Look for the Jumpers on the Motherboard that are responsible for controlling the speed of the CPU
• Position the Jumpers in the right manner by following the instruction on the Manual of the Motherboard and place it in the proper slot there.
• Now comes in the CPU heatsink and the other cooling equipments. Place all of them in the proper slots so that you do not miss on anything.
• Now close the cover of the CPU
• Reassemble the CPU and restart the system
• See if you can have the system started and if not then try to lower the clock speed.
