CPU: Intel P4 3GHZ 800MHZ FSB
MB: Abit IC7-G
Ram: 4x 512MB Crucial PC3200 DDR
Cooler: ThermalRight SLK900U W/ Vantec Tornado 92MM


Just overclocked my p4 3ghz to 3.6ghz.. its running at 1.625V (0.07 higher than default i believe) with memory at 2.65V (0.05 higher than default) .. idle temp is 46C and full load is 55C.. is this an acceptable overclock (im just not sure with the voltages).. i cant seem to push the thing any higher because of the ram stably(unless theres a higher amount of voltage that is safe and will increase performance).. any tips?

You're getting close to the limit on a P4 wise... I would may-b do 1.650 but wouldn't go fast 1.7max...
