help me overclock

[nick1985]

alright, i just got the above items and i am looking at overclocking.

system:
above CPU and mobo
a gig of mushkin 3500 level II
500 watt aspire PSU
couple maxtor hard drives


ok, as of now im having a trouble hitting 220 FSB, windows wont boot. im sure im doing something wrong, im not sure what i should have my voltages at or what my memory settings should be. if someone could point me in the right direction as to how i can get the most out of my mobo/cpu, that would be great.

thanks

See sig. Remeber to test chip then mem. This requires using a mem divider, called mem setting in 64. Set it to 133 and begin raising bus and appropriate voltage to CPU and find it's max

Make sure you get the latest bios installed. A lot of these boards basic bios didn't have all the ocing functions or had some compatability issues. You want to rule out that holding you back cause it will make you run in circles and pull your hair out....

actually i dont. there was a review linked here on anandtech for the model i have that was very highly rated. they said it was on of the best PSU's they ever reviewed. ive had it for over a year now and the voltages on the rails have been so damn steady its incredible.

i should set my memory to 133? i think i have it figured out, i am just a little confused on the whole memory/ratio part.
