Allright folks, be gentle with me. I'm new here, but I've been around computers since the 'ole 486 in the late 80's. Overall, I'm pretty knowlegable with computers. Recently, I just took the plunge and built a rig...

Intel E8400
Crucial Ballistix 1066
Striker II Formula
Seagate Baracuda 750MB 3.0 Gps 32mb cache (2ea) RAID 0
GeForce 8800GTX
Cooler Master 750watt PSU
X-Fi Platinum sound card
LG Blu-Ray disc drive

I think I did ok. I'm setting the rig up as a home theater pc, but I also intend to do some gaming with it. So far it's all coming together pretty well. What I'd like to do now is delve into a little overclocking. I'd like to keep it stable (of course), and from what I gather reading the forums and reviews, a target of 3.6 Ghz is what sounds like the deal for me. This way I know the rig will be stable, and I should be able to get away with the stock E8400 cooler. For added measure, I have 4ea 120mm fans installed in the case.

Anyways, I'm new to the forum, and deffinately new to overclocking. If someone would be kind enough to help me achieve a stable 3.6 final clock speed...you'd make my day. Thanks in advance.
