How do you overclock this processor? what should I do to increase the FSB? How fast can I overclock this processor with it being stable?

I will be using a Vaporphase refrigerant system -50C to -80C

let me get this straight..

you´re having an extreme cooling system and dont know how to overclock?
My advise is that you should start out ocing with the stock fan :)

Yes I do have an extreme colling system, but I dont know much about overclocking right now.

No. its a single stage 1/2 hp r404 system calibrated at 170W load at -68C full load.

very nice..

Allthough I recommend that you´ll try with the stock cooler first. Try dl. clockgen (www.clockgen.com) and oc only the fsb in that on stock voltage. Keeps going until it reboots.. Then increase the voltage within the bios with tiny steps and then continue ocing. Keep going within that circle until you´v reached the max of the stock.. Try keep the mem low as possible to determine max clock of the CPU..
When you got a hunch about max slap on the 1/2 hp and oc without limits (allmost :D )

good luck m8.

hmm, I think u should just stick the r404 cooler on, make sure ur protected against condensation, and see how high on stock volst, then raise it to the max safe vcore(not sure what it is), and then see how how:D

sure u dont wanna sell that cooler to me? :P
