Is this suitable for my initial CPU and memory overclocking?
Great work on the initial try! First-gen I series characters are pretty straightforward to change. You probably have more options to explore with the CPU.
Just a tip: RAM overclocking is fun (I've done quite a few), but unless you're using an AMD APU or the latest Ryzen chips, it's not really useful. 65C is fine for a CPU. I usually push it to the thermal limit for Prime95, sometimes just a bit beyond that. I've overclocked 75C on a H100i with a 240mm water cooler and a solid 4.9 OC on my old 8350. It's still running well after five years. Temperatures are under control.
First of all, Vogner, thank you!
Second, about RAM overclocking, I was expecting that, but it doesn't hurt to try.
Third, 75 C seems crazy to me (actually "insane"). Running the CPU at 75 C makes me shiver, even though laptops can get hotter, so *balancing the scales* I think it's okay.
