AVADirect Custom Gaming PC Review - PCWorld

AVADirect has helpfully included a number of overclocking presets in the machine's BIOS, and the included documentation will tell you how to scale the machines performance to meet your needs. If you're bothered by the noise you adjust the din a bit by juggling the fan controls, but unless you ultimately decide to scale back the CPU's clock speed, you could run the risk of overheating your processor.
