E6420 Overclock

[kkelly]

Hi there!

First proper overclock , so i have questions

CPU = E6420 Stock air cooler
Ram = 1 x GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz
1 x G.skill 2GB DDR2 HK PC2-6400C4
Total 4 Gig
Mobo = Gbyte GA-965P-DS3 (latest bios)

Right !

Ive been reading up and i have done the following

Disabled;

EIST
C1E

Changed the following;

V Core = 1.45
MCH + 0.1
FSB + 0.1

System Memory multi currently = 2.4

Memory Freq goes above 800 with below, do i want to keep this at 800, or close to by dropping the memory multi ?

FSB 285 (x8) seems fine
FSB 300 (x8) Blue screened with a ram error

(i cant go above x8)

So im stuck basically and am looking for some help, with the ram!, i can see the options with Cntrl + F1 in bios just clueless what to do

(ps screen dump with ram setting would be nice )

Cheers Kevin

Multiplier x 8
Bus Speed x 280
Rated FSB 1120
Core V 1.312

Memory

Freq 420 Mhz (should be 400 ?)

I have swapped Orthos for Prime 95!

Core #0 58
Core #1 58

Just under 30 min of use, is this to high ?, i have been looking for the replacement fans on ocuk and i was wonder if they just fit in like the intel one did (the 4 screws bits) if so could some one point me at a decent one ?

Also would thermal paste make much of difference i just used the stuff that came with the cpu :$

Thanks for your help!
