Im a little basic on overclocking, but i read reviews and got a decent power supply, good ram, good cooler and some nice ram and a board that can OC from what Ive heard. Can someone help me to see what i can get on it, On no voltage increase or anything i can put the fsb at 443 and the multiplier only goes at 6 or 7 so i heard im kinda limited too.

Arctic Freezer 7 Pro. with arctic silver 5 thermal grease.

For every 200mhz you need 0.1vcore extra, afaik. That's a rough estimate though, so you can probably do 3.5-ish if you push more vcore, but 3.1ghz on stock vcore is pretty sweet dude, for 24/7 usage I would run it at that.

As for the gts, you can overclock it lightly with ntune, all you do is adjust the sliders. Theres more detailed guides to overclocking it though, since the shaderclock can be oc-ed seperately, which does give a nice performance increase. I'm not to fond of OC-ing my gpu though, often you don't notice to much difference in games because of doing it. Look for posts on the videocard forum, or search for it, there have been dozens before you that asked.
