is there anything im doing wrong or make better?:D
 
Your ram is running slower than its stock rating (1066mhz). Consider using a divider to increase the bandwidth. A good start though - welcome to the world of overclocking :D
 
Stress test it using prime95 or similar program.. monitor the temperatures.. enjoy!

Pretty sure that's all there is to it. :p
 
cheers for the advice ive changed my auto setting for my ram to 4-2 which has gave me 1066, im so impressed with this board its so simple to use & tells me the exact numbers, also tried prime 95 for about 30mins idle my cpu is 35/46 in core temp underload the most they seem to get to was 54/60 is this about right for these cpu's? would you try abit more fsb?
