Post a link here from time to time since a number of hits come from [H]ardForun.
The guide exists as 2 incarnations. One for newbies and the other being more advanced. The default is the newbie version but the more advanced version (table of content shown below) is easily accessed when the guide opens.
Automatic translation to a number of languages has been added as a capability. Automatic translation of technical English to other languages is generally poor but it has been added in hopes of providing a basic understanding to others.
Motherboard, Memory, and CPU Overclocking Guide. A basic cooling section has been added due to the importance of cooling to overclocking. If you find broken links, typos or problems, please let me know.
