hi guys im new to all of this and i know your probably sick of the same old question but here goes

my current system is a q6600 cpu
xfx 680i lt motherboard
500 gig hard drive
4gb of ocz gold ddr2 ram
8800gt graphics card
vist 32bit

i would like to overclock my cpu to around 2.8 if i could
also on vista everything is 5.9 in the system settings but my memoryis holding me back at only 5.2
it is saying only 2.5gb on cpz-ubut showing 4gb
timming are 5-5-5-15
can i change them to make it any better?

aslo just brought the 8800gt card xxx alpha edition
would it be worth overclocking that too

my cooling is all stock so not wanting major overclocking but as i havent got a clue what im doing i thought a bit wont hurt it

if you guys need me to postany screenshots of anything or i have missed something out then let me know

im sorry if you have heard this question a 1000 times but i thought id give it a try

cheers guys
thx

sorry forgot to ask do i need to change the things benjo said aswell like the fsb and the muiltplier

budweiser28 · 30 Jul 2008 at 14:57

ive just changed the things you have said and changed the fsb to 310 like benjo said also i tried to change the muiltipler but couldnt find it where you change it to 312x 9
it just asked to change from 6 or 9 so i put 9 in
i have done all the rest you have said

sometimes it changes to 2.812 but only for a second

also this is the memory tab
