Never clocked an intel before. always been AMD

if this was an AMD system, i would loosen the RAM timings, drop the RAM multi down so RAM isnt affected by the clocking and then start with clockgen in windows to find the max stable FSB at that voltage. then bump the vcore up a notch and do the same again. keep going till i find highest stable clock without going mental on heat.

once stable, then i'd start on the RAM multi and timings till thats stable.

is it any diff on an intel? whether its the process or the programs used?

for basic stability test i use superpi then snm/primex2 for a proper.

any advice for an intel noob?

I'd be interested also, as I have the same setup aswell.
I have 2gb of corsair 6400, and on the default it set's up fine. But if I use the settings they incist for the ram, I crash all the time.
Would be good to know what I can do with the cpu.
