Overclocking a Pentium D 805

[DancingKirby]

Okay I wanted to get a Pentium D 805 and overclock it at least to 4GHZ, if not more, and have it still very stable. I am going to be getting a water cooled pc soon so cooling it shouldn't be a problem. I just need help on how to OC this thing that high and have it still be stable. I wanted to have a mobo with SLI so I thought the Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe would be a good choice for this along with a single eVGA 7900 GT (I'll probably add another later). I also wanted 2GB of OCZ memory. What exact model of 2GB memory would I want that would OC well and work with the mobo I listed above? What would I want my memory running at?

Second I was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly how theygot their D 805 to 4GHZ+ and still have it stable. Such as clock speeds, etc., pictures would be a great help.

I hope someone will be able to aid me with this because I really wanted to get into OC'ing and I didn't want to pay some guy to do this for me. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Honestly if you're paying the $$ for watercooling, don't bother with an 805D. As much as i recommend them, they are budget chips, if you're going to get watercooling it no longer becomes a budget thing. IMO, you would be much better off with an Opteron 165. Hell if you want to stick with the setup you outlined, change the 805D to a 930D, the Preslers are much nicer.

Well if you suggest the D 930... then same questions as above... only replace D 805 with D 930...

I really don't know too much about DDR2 memory. My plan is actually to get a cheapo 1gb kit of DDR2 memory and then change it to a nice 2gb (or maybe even 4gb) a ways down the road. DDR2 is improving VERY quickly so i don't think it's wise to get the "good" stuff right now.

As for the motherboard, i really can't advocate SLI, and i don't know which SLI boards are good. P5WD2 looks like a solid choice for Pentium Ds.

Sorry i can't help much, im mostly an AMD guy
