Need help overclocking my OCZ stuff. And My CPU/GPU

[Broly]

Hey guys.

I have 4 gigs of OCZ Platinum and Titanium Ram.

The problem is, I have 2 gigs of each kind.

I want to overclock on my A8N-SLI32 Deluxe(Copper Heatpipe/wfan) but I really don't know how


I searched on this board I found people have trouble getting over a certain mhz but right now I just want to expose myself to overclock the ram.

Is it a problem setting 2 different timings since I assume the titanium and platinum's have different peak timings?

Can someone tell me their highest and what I should be aiming for?

Will it make a difference in XP64? Sorry for all the questions guys but I'm exposing myself to OC'ing.

Also, I got an AMD 4800+ X2, I want to overclock it but I do not want to void any warranty. Will i get any good type of overclock? I'm running a Danger Den Pure silver block in an EXOS 2 cooling system... What should I am for and how should I do it?

Same question for my dual 512mb SLI 7800 GTX setup ( Asus edition ), what should I aim for? They're also both watercooled with Danger Den waterblocks as well..

Thanks guys!

Overclocking voids your warranty, no matter how much you overclock (as far as i know). Then again you're using a non stock heatsink, so you're technically outside your waranty there.

I recomend you look at the overclocking FAQ for more details, there's a massive thread on it in the CPU and overclocking section.

Again you've voided your waranty by using non stock heatsinks, the only company that i know of to allow them is eVGA. It's very, very simple to overclock them, think coolbitz is your best bet, and again to look in the video section.

In short, you have no warranties.

Yeah but they won't know once i bolt the old cooler back on, bob.
I think the cooling issue is more for people who want to use something smaller that may run the risk of a higher core temp...

Technically speaking trying to RMA them now would be fraud, you voided your warranty.

But who cares? Let's move on.

There really is no point in repeating the same threads again, look in the overclocking forum for the CPU, and then run a search in the video forum for the graphics card one.

E2A: Wow i sound like a grumpy bastard. I'll rephrase, there is a goldmine of information and a better more detailed guide in the overclocking forum, anything we do here will almost certainly be less useful than it.

Overclocking the graphics cards is really, really simple, and if you don't upp the Vcore then very safe as long as you watch the temps.

Well you did say you didn't want to void your warranties. What Bob is telling you is the truth.

If you bought an OEM CPU, then I think you're required to use a heatsink off the official approved list (and I don't know if what you're using is).

So your warranties are all probably already void from your current cooling.

If you want to commit fraud trying to RMA them back if something gets screwed up that's your business though.

not ethical

and i highly doubt using the best block builders in the business to cool their card is worse than theirs

but i get what you're saying.. fair neough
