Noob to overclocking w/o jumpers LOL

[JASTECH]

I should have the rest of my stuff Friday I hope. So my question is what is the best stable settings for my system? Should I have ordered something different in your opinion? Thank you for your valuable time. I hope this will be faster then my IBM DOS 3 system!

Nvm, wrong person

Edit:

In any case you should put it all together and before you start doing any OCing, update the BIOS to the latest revision and then make sure all the settings for the memory and what not is as they should.

Then make sure temps are accepted; meaning that the heatsink is properly mounted and everything is reading as it should or not out of the ordinary.

Well, good luck with being a paying beta tester. I hate new chipsets, they always suck when they first come out. Anyway, I'm not real sure about the X38 chipset, but with the P35 chipset, you'll have to install Windows with only one stick of RAM, when you have 2 GB sticks. At least, that's what the people with 2 GB sticks say. And how far you'll be able to overclock will depend on what heatsink you'll be using, along with how good the latest BIOS for your DQ6 happens to be.

Quick and dirty response to get you started:

Set the FSB to 333, the multiplier at 9 (the G0 should be able to handle this at stock voltages)
Push your RAM voltage up to whatever G.Skill recommended (probably +.4v) and set the memory timings
Set your memory divider at 1:1 (might be labled as 2x multiplier on a Gigabyte board)

As you push the FSB higher you'll have to start pushing the voltage up as well. At that point it's a trade off between speed and heat

Ok, will do. I recieved email confirming the shipment has left and on its way here 2nd day air (just like a kid), lol
ryema22, thanks for the help. I will do this step at a time.
