i5 750 Overclocking help

Unbreakable · 15 Jun 2010 at 08:56

Well iv finally got some spare time to have a go at overclocking my new rig. Only problem is I dont really know where to start. Been doing a lot of reading up on this forum and the net but am still unclear what settings to aim for to keep everything within safe limits.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Is it safe to leave the voltages on auto?

Manually set volatges to default values (Vcore, VTT, PCH, PLL, DIMM).

Where would I find all the defaults?

Cpz only shows vcore which is 0.816

Thanks for all the great info.

The ram i have is corsair dominator CMP4GX3M2A1600C8

The rated times are 8-8-8-24. I should manually change the ram to these values?

Using this cooler http://www.zalman.com/Eng/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=308

Looking at replacing it with a H50 or something soon.
