Hi guys just needed a bit of help overclocking my new computer. Just to let you know i am a total newbie when i comes to overclocking and this is my first try at it. My computer setup is gigabyte ga-p35-ds3l, intel e6550 @2.33ghz, gskill 4g ddr2 800, seagate 250g hd, antec 900 case, antec earthwatts 500w ps, ac freezer 7 pro.
for my first time overclock i just set the fsb value to 360 with my mulitiplier set at 7. cpu-z is reading my memory running at dram freq of 432.0 mhz with a fsb:dram ratio of 5:6. my temp seemes to hover around 42 c when i look at it in the bios. The only things i have played with in the bios is changing the fsb value, setting the voltage to auto and i set the ram to 5-5-5-15 instead of the auto that it was on. I am not trying to get a huge overclock but just wanted to make sure i was not doing something horrible wrong on my first overclock. any advice you can give me would be a great help.....thanks guys
