I built my rig about 8 minutes ago. It's my first one. It overclocks pretty well, but i was wondering if better RAM could get mine to a higher OC than 3.6 GHz. Also maybe give me a more stable OC.

yeah ram will always help, also try a higher PSU

better cooling is a good idea. this is a northwood core right?

 

[p00ter71]

i was thinkin hyperx pc4000 would that help?

 

[p00ter71]

yes northwood

 

[p00ter71]

ive got 3 fans in my case

 

[Waffles]

get a better h/s
www.sidewindercomputers.com
or
www.heatsinkfactory.com

also you may want some better case fans. they are available at those sites. and yes pc4000 is a beast although patriot is cheaper than kingston and i have also heard better things about ocz. i like my corsair but i should have gotten the 4000 as it was only $.50 more.

prob go with ocz since it has been provin by several peeps on overclock.net to overclock well. and its shiny and the heatsinks are good to have

good advice thank you.

get ocz gold 4000. 125 a stick of 512 and very worth it. A good heatsink is the xp-90 pair that with a 92 mm fan and your northwood will be a lot cooler
