Hi, I just finished building my new system and started to overclock it a little, seems not too bad so far but as I'm new to these forums and overclocking in general I was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers or some advice in general?

Here are some screenshots of some of my bios settings and a PI result along with temp. and CPU-z info, theres a few things I'm uncertain about. Firstly the timings on the memory dont look to good, they should be 4-4-4-12 t2, but with the bios settings as shown, they are nothing like that, I know how to change them in the bios but am unsure which settings relate to what timings. Secondly when sitting idle CPU-Z shows the multiplyer fluctuating between x7.0 and x6.0, is this normal? its set to x7.0 in the bios as you can see.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated :)

Thanks for the replies guys, Ive tried some of the settings suggested and overall everything is a lot more stable now. I dont seem to be able to get past 475FSB, which I'm not complaining about, whilst not as good as some of the speeds people are reaching, it's still a fairly decent speed increase imo. If I try to go any higher than this I get as far as the point where my desktop is about to be drawn onscreen and I get 'PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA' I'm not sure if I'm maxing out at 475FSB because my memory is only CAS4?? and as stated above, no matter what I set the bios to CPU-z reports RAM running at CAS3. Also on the plus side I have managed to tighten the timings up a little so they are now set and stable running at 3-4-4-12 :) . Once again thanks for your input and help.

Cheers,

Dusty.
