I need some advice on Overclocking ASROCK DUALSATA

[isekii]

My components.

ASROCK DUALSATA2
Opteron 144
OCZ DDR500 2 x 1gb 3-4-3-8
ATI AIW 9800pro
Maxtor 300gb SATA
Antec Smart Power 2.0 500watt PSU

I go in the bios and have no clue what to play around with.
People that has a similar setup with similar motherboard.
What settings should I be playing with ?

CHange CPU-North Bridge from 'Auto' to 800

Ram Voltage 'high'

Ram ddr400

Set your ram timings manually 3-4-3-8 (Don't use autodetect)

Flexibility Off

Cool N Quiet OFF

CPU/PCIE overclocking 'Async'

Primary display on AGP

Ram command rate 2T

cpu volts 1.45

Leave 'read preamble' and 'pci latentcy' in the 'advanced memory timings' at defaults--although you could try 6ns and 8ns, respectively.


Turn up the cpu mhz to 250. Enjoy 2.25ghz.

274 is the max fsb the board will do will official bioses. If you go for 274 fsb (i.e. 2.5g) you will need to use a ram divider-- as in, change ddr speed from ddr400 to ddr333.
