My first overclock for years!

Hi all,
This is my first overclock for years

Havent bothered but thought I would give it a go since re-installing a new watercooling loop in my system.

I haven't a clue if the temps are good but I did a screenshot whilst carrying out Prime95 and have just been playing BF3 with cor temps of 33/34 on all cores.So looking good.
Don't know wether to push the chip more or if I would see a vast improvement anyway?
Kit used: Windows 7 pro 64bit
Amd Phenom II 1100T BE
Sabertooth 990fx board
8Gb corsair Vengeance
Asus 480gtx
Asus Xonar DX
Silverstone Raven R2 case.
Cheers

Thats a great OC and some awesome temps.

Can you push it any further?

Looking real good. personally I'd take it as a win and not push any further. Only blew up AMD's in my past

Thanks for looking chaps and after doing a bit of research I think it's quite a respectable clock! I may take it higher just to see what it could do but I think 200mhz or more would just be for bragging rights more than anything to do with with seeing a vast performance increase!
I'll run it at these clocks for a week and make sure it's stable for everything I do! It's a lot easier to clock these chips then it was when I was taking a 2B pencil to a Duron to bridge connections so it would unlock the multiplier

Though on the flip side there's a lot more options with ref to NB and SB and memory etc to fiddle with!
