So i finally OCed my comp! *very pleased with myself!*
This is my system:
AMD 64 3500+ Venice 939 pin
Asus A8V-E Deluxe
2x 512 Kingston Value Select 3200 ram (CL 3)
Maxtor 160Gb SATA (8mb)
Generic 350w PSU (lol how cheap ;) )
STOCK COOLING
*wont mention other gear*

This is my OCing so far:
CPU multiplier: 11
HTT: 240
LDT: 4x (dont know if it should be set at that)
Mem Div: CPU/14
Mem Timing: 1T
Vcore: 1.6
Everything else is set to Auto in BIOS
Mem Freq: 188.4

So is there anything i should change? Anything to increase stability or increase performance. If not, what do you think of my first crack at OCing???
*I would also like to officially and publicly thank Pyrokinetic for all of this help/guidance and assistance that he gave me. Awesome help and i am forever greatfull!*

Do you need the vcore at 1.6 to get that overclock? If you can get that at a lower vcore then lower it.

LDT is set right. 4 X 240 = 960. Anything around 1000 is good. For more stability, set the timing to 2T, but it will decrease performance.

If it's stable at 1.6 then leave it there, just keep an eye on your temps, if you're running hot, you might want to turn it down a notch. Congrats! A 20% increase on your first O/C is pretty damn good :)

Yeah if it's working and the temps aren't too high then go with it.

Also, since your RAM is running slightly under speed you should be able to get away with CAS 2.5 instead of CAS 3... not a huge difference but every little bit helps...
