I would like to clock this setup up.
I have a 2x Aegis 8G stick (16g total) with a Gigabyte GTX 660 gaming card.
The cooler is a Cooler Master GT V8, which is really big—if you buy it it looks great but be careful with the case size.
I own six case fans and a Strike-X fan controller with an LCD display. The thermal solution is an 850W SmartM 80 Plus Bronze unit.
If I could find the right steps, I’d be very computer-savvy and have certifications, but I’ve never actually overclocked before. This project took me about six months of research, and here’s what I got. Any tips or guides would be a huge help. Thanks!
P.S. This is my last shot at doing it safely without risking the CPU—I don’t want to lose this one!

I also discovered the ideal pc case for this cooler. The Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 Arctic White High Airflow ATX Cube offers a big, well-organized design with excellent airflow and impressive storage.
