Today, I decided to finally overclock my home server. This was the
first computer I ever owned and bought by myself, over a decade ago,
and it was pretty much my workhorse till my sister bought me the Optiplex
3020 a couple of years ago.
The only reason I decided to overclock this because I was trying to OC my
3020 to no avail (so far), seems to be OEM lock but TBH; if there is a will,
there is a way. (and I got all the time in the world to wait for someone to make
it happen LOL)
With that said, see below; so far I've been able to overclock this system with up
to stable numbers mentioned below. Anything above that, the computer will shut down.
Now I need to figure out RAM overclocking without the hassle of bricking my system and
me having to pull out the CMOS battery to restart MOBA. GPU overclocking should be ok.
