Hey All,
Well this is my first post in here and hope you guys will be kind to me. I am new to overclocking. I have just built my own pc and im very proud of it but i want to try and over clock but im lost in where to start. I have read the guide on here hundreds of times and understand somethings on it.
But i need help starting the whole Overclocking thing.
My CPU is: Intel E6600
Ram: 2GB Kingston HyperX 6400 DDR2 800mhz
Motherboard: Asus P5N-E SLI
Power: 500w
I get into Bios and i have read on her in the forums that its best to set the FSB and Ram to 1:1 ratio . Does that mean setting the option in Bios to manual for fsb and ram and change to 1:1. What does linking and specific mean do i need to do anything there instead? when i tried the option without over clocking the 1:1 option sets the ram speed the same as fsb @ 1066 is that ok if the ram only runs at stock 800mhz? or am i in a tottally diff ball park..?
I need help to get the settings correct to get a start.
Am i thinking correct that once fsb and ram is set to 1:1 you just raise the FSB 3-5mhz a time and test.
What temps should i be worried about at the moment using core temp its 29c and 33c. have 4 fans in my case plus the stock cooler.
God im lost and want to get my mind straight and get started. but i have read so much and im now tottally confused in how to start.
Hope for some help? Sorry i bet this has been posted alot of times but i cant seem to find the answer.
