Done my FIRST OC!

[Him]

Hey all! I just finished setting up my water cooling system, finally, and I just did my first OC. I wasnt anticipating too much, I have ValueRAM so it cant be too much. Now, a few questions.

It's running at 118F, but there are still a few things in the water system I have to work out, not to mention putting a fan on my heatercore. Will it make a huge difference in temp when I put my fan on? Or does it mean that maybe I did something wrong?

I'm going to be overclocking my videocard soon too. It's the eVGA 6600GT, what would we all suggest for OCing that?

I'm also having some difficulty figuring the RAM ocing aspect. I know you gotta mess with the timings (ie. 2.5,3,3,7 which is what my ram was running at stock) but I cant find somewhere to touch the speed on the RAM. Is there something I'm not doing, or not realizing that I am doing? Specs in the sig.

Thanks in advance!

notice your running a ocz booster im not sure you need it. that mem should do fine at 2.8v with those timmings. i would learn your bios that where your mem timmings are located. you can also download a prog that will allow you to over clock inside of windows that might make it a little easyer for you in the begining. rember man small steps you dont want to break anything. good luck man.

peace perc,

nice, you'll defo be wanting to put a fan on that sucker, keep us posted with your progress as well.

For ocing the vid card, u can use rivatuner to change the clock speeds, and 3dmark to make sure its stable. When u change the FSB on your cpu, u r usually also overclocking the fsb on the ram. Also, to change timings on ram, u can use this:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43926, but be careful. Like Perc said, I dont think u need the booster with that ram, unless it is BH-5/6. A fan on the radiator would definelty lower temps.
