Hey all, im just a little lost with my overclocking, only just started and im struggling now. I replaced the cpu cooler with http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalo...th=1_42&mID=69 and i replaced the gpu cooler with http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalo...ath=2_&mID=103 .Then i thought id try to overclock, i upped the FSB from 333 -360, and lowered the dram freq. Just be doing this alone when i run real temp to check the temp of the cores, its going as high as 85 degrees under stress. And this is only at 360? my case cooling is fine , i have enough air supply in my case and its nice and cool. Im worried about pushing any further than 360 because the temp is reaching that level. I did find a video on youtube showing what someone did to overclock his E8400 3ghz dual chip, which is the same as mine, i did exactly what he said which was change the FSB to 400 and up the voltage to 1.23750, when my pc booted up i got a bluescreen crash, so went into bios and reset it back. Now im lost as to what to do, i know very little about changing the cpu voltages. Not sure what to do next, pretty much lost and worried about pushing it too far to get more crashes. Any advice / help would be appreciated.

Pc specs

E8400 Wolfdale @ 3ghz dual core
Asus P5Q motherboard
8 gig ddr2 1066mhz corsair dominator
8800 gtx640mb
800 watt coolermaster psu
Viewsonic 24inch widescreen full hd hdmi monitor 1920 x 1080
running vista 64 bit ultimate.


My temps are - WITH NO OVERCLOCK!

gpu 39
system 27
cpu 25
aux 26
hd0 20
hd1 31
core 0 39
core 1 45

I have a full size fan and if i leave that blowing towards my case with the side off the core 0 drops to 30 or 29, so this is what ill do to help with airflow after overclocking.
