I have a 400w p/s, and the specs seen in my signature, except I might get a ti 4200 instead of the radeon. (video card is the only thing I have left to buy) The RAM is Kingston. What should I set the fsb to and the mutiplier for a stable clock? I don't have the best cooling in the world, but it is more than adequate. I want to get up aroung 2500+ or 2600+ speeds, but I don't want it crashing on me all the time or burning up or anything. I just want a really stable, not extreme overclock. Also, do I need to set the voltage up, and what is safe?

Thank You

There are overclocking guides, and "official 2100 oc'ing thread" in this section. LOTS of good info already here, just have to do some research chap.
If you're not willing to do research, you shouldn't be overclocking, because if someone gives you the wrong info, and you don't verify it first, and your under $400 rig turns into a $400 paperweight, it will be no ones fault but your own.

Find threads with matching motherboards, and preferable matching chips. Look at memory configs, and all the other goodies, and determine what would be the first step (of many steps), to a good OC from your rig.
