Hello people!
I built this desktop a year ago:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kzGQqk and I've only just gotten the Scythe Mugen 4 CPU Cooler as I am thinking about overclocking.
I am looking for information on what software I should use to overclock my processor - currently I have CPUID CPU-Z software that came on a CD with the motherboard which I believe i can use for the purpose. Secondly, I have no idea whatsoever about overclocking and would love it if somebody could explain the process step-by-step and post parameters that would not cause any damage to my system (I'm aiming at 4.4-4.5 GHz) and also to clarify whether this is something that I have to re-do everytime i reboot like with the GPU Tweak software that came with my graphics card.
Furthermore, I am looking at reinstalling my OS due to updates and such taking a toll on my limited SSD space and will do this with the software available form my university - either a Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 10 Education. I cannot currently make up my mind on which one I want to use as I quite frankly dont understand what possible features I might be missing with the 10 Education version. If somebody could give me advice on that one as well it would be greatly appreciated - bear in mind i only use this desktop to play games - 95% of the time this is WoW and do not even have a media player or office installed for that matter and i intend to keep it so with the only addition of possibly (quite unlikely atm ) streaming in the future. I only describe the above in the offchance the Windows 10 Education features might prevent me from doing so.
