Ask the DoctorAsk the Doctor: Stock Cooler Safety

Posted 11/10/08 at 06:45:44 PM by The Maximum PC Staff

Ask the Doctor LogoHow far can I safely overclock a CPU if I’m using a stock cooler? I was building a budget rig and when I had money left over, I decided to upgrade from a high-end Athlon 64 to a really low-end 2.2GHz Phenom. I want to up the performance, even by a tiny bit, but I’m hesitant to do it with a stock cooler. Please help!
