    Trying to OC my Gig DS3 and e6400.

    Thanks gobucks it went very well. Dropiing the multi down to 1:1 was the key. Easily upped the fsb to 350 and got 2.8Ghz without any problem. Did not change anything else.Very happy with the results,(did change cpu vcore from auto to 1.325.) Temp of cpu went up a few degrees 36C to 40C.
