With Battlefield 3 coming out soon and my pc haing been easily OC'd and stable at 3GHz for the past 2 years i felt it time to OC it a bit more.
Currently I'm stable at 3.42GHz with idle temps of 36-40C depending on amibent temp and Vcore at 1.325. In P95 My core temps maximum is 66/66/63/62C on small FTT's and in IBT 77/77/73/73.
So I was wondering what the maximum I should go to temp wise to get the best OC without risking significantly shortening the CPU lifespan?
Also I'm not entirely sure how I should setup my RAM (timings, dram volts, maximum freq for overclock etc) I'm currently using 2*2gb of corsair xms2 and have a Asus P5Q pro mobo.
