I am running my machine at 3.00 Ghz. (333Mhz x 9). I would like to OC it to 3.2GHz if it is safe. please help...
On air these temps are pretty good with an ambient like you have. You really cant afford any volts increase as it will up the temps so if your CPU is upto it try it with increasing FSB to get to 3.2 - 400x8 would give best overall CPU/MB/Memory performance. What your current BIOS setting.
