First OC! Hooray!!!!

   When I ordered from DS I asked them to install the water cooler, but not to overclock. I wanted to learn on my own, so that in the event something went wrong, I could undo it myself instead of being without a computer for however long it took me to work it out with customer service.

After two months of reading forum posts and guides, and after an unsuccessful and very scary auto-tune OC, I've finally taken the leap of faith in myself and OCed my system.

I chose an offset overclock because I don't need to run at level 4 F@#$ YEA MOTHERf@#$ER while I'm checking my email.

I'm still a bit nervous about pushing any crazy limits so I stuck with a pretty modest OC.I just finished some pretty moderate stress testing, but I'm now running an i7 3770K at 4.3 GHz. Hooray for reading and hooray for moar speed!
