Intel Dual Core from £79 +VAT

Sorry, it's far too late and I didnt get any sleep last night. :(

In my Bios it says

FSB speed 720
Mem speed 720

and ive set the CPU termination voltage to 1.35V

CPUz states as follows

My settings are:

Manual overclocking control (ram and fsb)
FSB 760
RAM 760 (makes it run at 1:1 with this board)
RAM voltage 1.95v
RAM timings are set to auto because my ram is crap
cpu voltage 1.5125v (could be lower for yours, mine only needs 1.4625 @ 3.7)
Northbridge voltage 1.5v
PWM asus qfan on with no minimum fan speed
Click to expand...

I've pretty much used Raikiri's settings (thanks Lord Raikiri - hands down to you :D ) But CPU Volt at 1.45.
I've recently dropped mines to 3.7GHz only because it crashed on me when I tried SuperPi 8M. I probably need to do the vdroop mod, but don't wanna mess up the board.

So your Ram will be running at 190MHZ (760/4)?

Doesnt that mean its running at almost 2/3 the specified speed? Is there anything you can do about this to get it running at ~ 266MHz or 333MHz.

Will it have any large affect on performance running at this lower speed?

And as a noob question what is the order of tweaking when overclocking? All I can guess is you raise FSB until it fails then give CPU a bit of voltage. When do you start adding voltage to the RAM, Northbridge etc? Please be gentle with your answers.

Many thanks
 
I have searched before any one starts!:D But seeing as so many boards have been realeased now what is the best budget board sub £70 as ive got a 805 for £50 that i want to use

Cheers
i was thinking of the asrock xfire but it has wildly different reviews.
