Hey guys my new Sandy Bridge set-up will be here later this week and I plan to OC the 2500k. A buddy of mine told me not to OC right away and that I needed to wait until the thermal paste cured before I did any overclocking. Is this true or can I go ahead and OC the chip once I get everything set up? I haven't really heard this before so wanted to make sure so I don't do something wrong to a new chip lol. Would love to see what she can do on Day 1.
Rig specs:
Asus P8P67 PRO <REV 3.0>
2500k will be cooled by Dark Knight S1283V & using AS5 for paste
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
ASUS DirectCU HD6870 @ 985mhz GPU/1200mhz Mem
ASUS EAH6870 @ 985mhz GPU/1200mhz Mem
WD Black 1TB HDD
X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS PCI (Don't think I'll be able to use this card in the new board )
Corsair TX850
Coolermaster CM-690
Thanks!
