Has anyone got these specs? I want to overclock my CPU and GPU.

What voltages and speeds are the safest for the CPU?

My current PCIE Frequency is set to 100... Whats the safest tune?

If anyone out there has my mobo who would like to share your testings with me I'd appreciate it.

keep PCI-E freq locked at 100.

keep PCI-E freq locked at 100.

Thanks, I tried setting all my voltages on normal from auto, and then tuning the fsb from 266 to 333 also keeping the PCIE frequency to 100 and i couldnt boot. If i keep voltages set to auto and fsb to 333 it boots???

Ive been running mine at 3.8 (400x9.5) for half a year now at 1.4v, this is one an x38 so you should be fine.

Hi matey, I just tried FSB 333 from 266 and setting the cpu voltage to 1.4v from 2.10v and my CPU temp has risen from 38*c to 53*c in idle??? why the vast increase in temp? i thought a lower voltage would mean lower temp?

I hope 2.10v was a typo.

LOL i got mixed up with DRAM 2.10 voltage, i think i was running at 1.1v on the CPU ive now set it to 1.2v

What is it running at under load?

Im currently at 40/35 idle and 63/60 under load with a horribly based TRUE and a low cfm fan.

hi mate atm im running fsb 333 (from 266), CPU @ 3.18ghz (from 2.5ghz) with voltage set to 1.2v. my temp in idle is 42/40 and in game 63/65... is this ok?

Are you using the stock cooler?

Are you using the stock cooler?

just the standard heatsink with my cpu

I would try and take the voltage down a little, try it one notch at a time then test it.

Got mine at 425x9.5 at 1.45v (same as I had my E8500) and no problems

what's with the 5ghz on air link.
