Hello All, I'm hoping someone out there could help me out here, i'm interested in OC'ing to about 3.2 to 3.4ghz. I have been doing some reading and i know that i need to change the FSB to 1600 to get to 3.2. My question is do i need to change voltages as well? here is a list of my hardware to help fill in the pieces.

MB - Evga 780i SLI bios upgrade to the latest P8 i believe is the lastest.
Processor - Intel Q9450.
Memory - OCZ SLI Ready Dual Chan PC6400 DDR2 800Mhz 2x2048mb
Video - NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT 2x512mb SLI Mode
OS - XP Media,Vista Ultimate 64
Cooling - Prolimatech Megahalems Heatpipe w/Xilence 120mm PWM fan 57.91 CFM 28 dba

I also Have all the programs RealTemp, Core Temp, CPUID CPU-Z, GPU-Z, CPUID HWMonitor AND Prime95.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

could you post your current voltages please = ] That would help me know weather or not you need to bump them slightly. Temps would be great as well = ]

Thanks, here are my temps 48 44 46 45 and the only volts that i changed in the bios was my mem to fact setting of 2.10 all others are auto. CPU-Z core voltage is 1.320 should i set that in the bios as well?

Hi all, right now i am at 3.2ghz with mem linked and synked the only voltage that i have set in the bios is my memory and thats at factory 2.10 i ran prime95 for like 20 with no problems, should i also set the other voltages in the bios as what there are showing currently as? right now there are on auto?

Check out my overclocking guide in my sig. That may be of some use to you

Thanx Lord, locked in the voltages in the bios, and i'm running prime95 for the past 2 hours, and so far so good, thanks again for the info.
