Hello everyone. Im upgrading my computer to a High End Gaming one and i need a little advice about overclocking it. Im from Portugal and this is pretty much the top hardware around here. My question is how much can i overclock with this setup without using watercooling and having the least noise possible? 4.5 ghz? Please bear in mind that the computer is gonna be running almost 24/7. All constructive opinions are welcome. Thank you in advance.
