Hi Ace,

"you need to tell me your overclock objective...what Mhz do you want to attain...might not get there but, i can give you general area to work...each setup is totally different."

Well, I'm looking for a safe, stable high overclock. I would like to reach 3.6Ghz Stable. I figure it is probably possible to do a 3.9Ghz, but I don't want to stress my system that much... But if you think 3.9Ghz can be achieved in a safe stable enviroment... I am open to try it.

I kind of know each set is totally different... but I choose proven components that a lot of people are using such as Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 800, I figure what other people have done will give me an idea and sooner or later I will understand what the hell i am doing.

I don't even know where to begin. So lets talk about what I do know... kind of.

I think I would want to leave the multiplier on 9x? Since I have DDR2800, will give me the closest ratio to 1:1. I should bost the Vcore to like 1.45. And perhaps put the FSB to 415 (figure we could try for a 3.735Ghz clock speed to begin with UNLESS you think we should set it higher or lower).

About the DDR2... manufacture specs say 2.2...

I really don't know what else to do... suggestions PLEASE, let me be your protogee (p.s. I purchased the OEM vesion and its a G0)

"DDR2 REF is the sub-voltage for DDR...i would set either 0% or +2%.

CPU GTLREF 1&3, CPU GTREF 0&2 range is between 67% to 70%...you need to find the right % for your cpu."

So what would you leave it on for the first time? When would you try to tweek these settings?... Maybe I am getting ahead of myself.

I finish work in a few hours, by then I do what ever you say and post back some time tonight....

Between overclocking and gaming... I have NO TIME for anything... I guess it is not a bad life especially the gaming.


PCIe will effect GPU and hard drives.
