I've purchased the components for a new computer (parts listed below), and I'm wondering about what strategy I should use to gain the greatest performance. I've read some advice on overclocking my specific processor to 4.0Ghz. I've also heard that the turbo key and core-unlocker switches give a considerable boost in performance without too much excess heat. What combination should I use for a good balance of power vs cooling? I'm curious to see if anyone had some advice, hopefully from experience with similar rigs.
Any other build tips are appreciated, such as cpu cooler orientation.
