Honestly, I was absolutely pushing my E2160 to its limits by running it at just 1.7V with nothing but the stock Intel cooler, and you know what? It didn't even flinch 😁

jbt, I’m honestly not sure how you missed it—the image is absolutely massive...

Have you given any serious thought to getting a pair of glasses? 🙂

Just a bit of advice: let that Celeron go. It really isn't built for any kind of overclocking.

To be honest, I have my doubts about how stable things will actually be if we're pushing it from 2GHz all the way up to 2.8GHz...

Well, you just keep bumping up the FBI, continuing as long as things remain stable (meaning, as long as you can still actually boot into Windows), and then you gradually nudge the CPU voltage up a bit, followed by another slight increase to the FBI, and so on...

But honestly, you aren't going to see much of a performance gain with an Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz; it's just such a weak little chip...

Well, we can't really know for sure, can we? Every processor behaves differently. For instance, one might top out at 3.8 GHz while another hits 4 GHz easily; there just isn't a universal rule when it comes to these things.
Regarding the E8500... if you're already planning on overclocking, wouldn't it make more sense to go with the E7200 instead? You'll save some cash and still walk away with solid performance.
What kind of power supply are you leaning towards? Are you looking for air cooling or a liquid loop? And what about the case? Come on, give me some actual details to work with!

Ugh, here we go again with another ridiculous claim...

Apparently, you can push this thing to an overclock of 5.84GHz (sounds pretty impressive, doesn't it?)—provided, of course, that you're using liquid nitrogen cooling.
As for the graphics card, they claim you can hit a core clock of 927MHz and memory speeds of 4421MHz, though again, that’s only if you're soaking it in liquid nitrogen.
And if you actually decide to attempt such a massive undertaking, you'll need a power supply rated for at least 750-1000W just to keep things running.

Personally, I wouldn't touch the overclocking settings just yet; those temperatures you're seeing look quite high to me.
First things first, you really ought to invest in some better cooling solutions.

I honestly don't follow you at all here🤷

So, just to clarify, the Black Edition can be overclocked simply by increasing the multiplier; it actually doesn't depend on the motherboard at all.

Robin Perez said:Is the Gigabyte MA770-DS3 actually any good for overclocking? I've been scouring the web for reviews, but I can't seem to find anything concrete.

So, which processor are you planning on pairing with it?

If you're looking for my personal take, I can't recommend RivaTuner enough!

Hey
PC Expert Forum 😉

All DDR SDRAM standard memory modules share the exact same pin count, don't they? 👍

Alright, first things first, you’ll need to pick up:
Cooler

Thermal Paste

And maybe a few of these (since you're working with an mATX board, I'm assuming it's tucked away in a mini-tower where a 120mm fan won't fit, but honestly, an 80mm fan will do just fine)
Fans

Once you have those items on hand, we can dive deeper into the details. ☕Shall we talk then?

Edit: Hmm, perhaps we should look at the power supply as well...

?? When exactly did you run the check? And what’s the status now?
Maybe you should try reading a technical guide first... RTFM.

The GPU temperature looks perfectly normal to me—there’s absolutely nothing to worry about there.
The CPU is running a bit higher than I'd like to see... perhaps it's time to give the cooler a quick dusting and apply some fresh thermal paste?

Could you tell me which motherboard model this is?
