I will have to do this in a few posts because I have several pictures of different things....so bare with me on this one..

I am at a lack of time right now and I need some quick pointers on what I could do to help my overclocks alittle better or tweaking a few settings. What I am asking is if someone could review my pictures and maybe point some things out that I could tweak that I haven't already done.

Thanks...

Try to run lower Multi and higher FSB !
Maybe push more Volts in your Mem and run lower Timings, like 2,2,2,5 or so, try how low you can get at which FSB !

It doesn't look like you're running a divider for your memory, so why is your Refresh Rate (Tref) set to 166MHz 1.95us?

Open up Sandra and run the Memory Bandwidth Benchmark. Jot down your base reading so that you can see the difference in change with varied settings. Adjust your Refresh Rate (Tref) to something in the 200MHz range. Try all four 200MHz settings and keep the one that yields the biggest bandwidth increase.

EDIT:
I just realized that most DFI 754 rigs favor the 166MHz Tref. Sorry. Well, judging from the Sandra bandwidth you have in your signature, there's room for improvement. Here's an old shot of my DFI 754 at 9x268MHz 1:1 with 2x256MB of G.Skill TCCD. Disable Dynamic Counter and play with Tras value of 10. It wasn't done for this screenshot, but it would've yielded better results.

yeh 166 1.95us rules :D
try setting read preamble to 6.5 and it will make your cpu stabler
yep, right on with disable dyn. counter
runa divider and keep at 2-2-2-10 andyoull get a big increase in performance
your multimedia is right on for cpu speed, but integer sucks. i get over 11k. try to tweak more and run benches in a clean boot

Alright thanks everyone for your input and information. This all is helping me out alot here! LoL! But I shall give it a try when I get home from work today. :D

EDIT: I need to figure out a way to help my PC run alittle cooler...the CPU temps are going too high at 2.6 and 2.7GHz...and I think that is what is holding me back at higher clocks right now.
