OC'ing advice with my E4300 & Gigabyte GA P35 DS3P....

You'll probably have to raise the CPU voltage a bit to get 3ghz. But you shouldn't have to touch the FSB voltages. But it wouldn't do any harm to raise the MCH and FSB voltages by 0.1v til you have got 3ghz stable.

Not knowing anything about voltages (obviously ;)) just want to make sure putting up the other 2 voltages isnt gonna do any damage to the components involved?? I have no idea what "MCH" even is!!!! :confused:

The MCH is Intels name for the northbridge. And bumping the voltages will do no damage.
 
Right, my first crack at this after all the advice....

Upped the RAM voltage by 0.20v (making it 2.0v if the default of the mobo is 1.80v - nicely inbetween the 1.90v & 2.10v range the RAM suggests)
Upped the FSB voltage by 0.10v and upped the CPU to 333Mhz to hit 3Ghz.....

The result....

Posted but wouldnt load Vista, rebooted and reset to all the default settings! :confused:

Whats my next step?? Up the CPU voltage or the MCH??

Thanks again guys....

Up the CPU voltage.

There's no reason to touch your MCH or FSB voltages again til you're well over 400mhz.
 
Up it by 0.025v at a time. Once you get a stable overclock you're happy with then you can try lowering it by 0.0125v .

And no, Vista loading is not a sign of stability.
