bit of a nube, havent oc'd a chip since clocking my multiplayer unlocked 800Mhz duron to 1.1Ghz, ah memories. :)

My 775 2.66 is in need of a boost, i want to hit 3+Ghz ideally, which as ive read seems more than viable on stock cooling - but i hope to get an aftermarket cooler and aim a bit higher once i feel confident with what i am doing.

I had a E8200 Dual core cpu, and an ASUS p3n32 motherboard and 8500 Crucial Balistics Ram, rated to 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2v, it seems to have a lot of oc options. i know to avoid the asus nos switches, but would like some more charification

So then peeps, what am i actually looking at to perform a sensible oc? i know increasing the voltage can overclock, with the sacrifice of heat once hitting a threashold but im pretty adiment theres more to it than upping the voltage...

Im taking a stab at this, but im guessing the key is to increase the FSB (fig 3)?

Any advice, or pointing in the right direction will be great.

i think its always best to do un linked on memory

up the fsb on the cpu a little at a time then when unstable up the vcore bit by bit

check for stability with intelburn and check temps with realtemp or coretemp

just google them find them easy and there free

- just upped the fsb up to 1450, and everything seems quite happy. what incriments would you advise i keep going up in ? how much should i up the voltage when it starts to become unstable ?
 
well you vid is 1.2250 so thats you stock volts but your need to download intelbur run that on max and see what temps you get. as a rule i dont go over 65 but you can go to 74c (recomended)

up the volts to the next setting or one after cant remember what it goes up in now.
