   @Asiats1 Alienware isn’t being paid for grunt work, they are paid for the brand name. Go for a reliable brand name that doesn’t rip you off if you want a pre-build, you won’t be disappointed.

    @MrAMColes
    Your responses are really helpful, and in my opinion just ignore asiats1. It’s true, alienware gives you basically crap motherboards, then boasts about the rest of its specs…

    @Asiats1 Because that is a example on a different scale, and also, I have always fancied building a caterham kit car. In fact I’m pretty sure i will some day.

    Will it be okay to over clock it to 4.0 or 4.3 24/7?

    @Asiats1 Don’t come flashing that your a doctor, it doesn’t matter how rich your are, if you buy a alienware computer you are a moron. I refuse to believe that you can’t spare a few hours to put together a system.

    @ISUBANY11 You should be able too, just run prime95 and watch the temps, if they get to high, go back down.

    @ycchne I wouldent go above 1.4 for a 24/7 overclock. Just try going up by a tiny amount and try to post. Get it stable at 4.5 and then try and drop the volts a little bit. There is no golden rule with overclocking, depends on your chip.
