Hey guys,

Advance apologies for making a slightly "noob" post, but I just wanted some general advice on overclocking my E8600. Some info:

Chip: SLB9L Malay, Q820A601, VID=1.200V (from CoreTemp)
Board: DFI LP LT X38-T2R, latest BIOS
RAM: 2 x 2GB OCZ Blade LV PC2-9200
Cooler: Zalman CNPS9700-NT

I'm just wondering if you guys can give me a ball park speed/voltage I should be aiming for to use the machine 24/7 long term. And any little tips/tricks which have arisen from this thread (sorry I haven't read it all!).

Cheers,

Su

P.S. Also, I noticed a lot of you disable VDroop control - why is this?
