HIS 1900xtx iceq3
foxconn mobo
1gb corsair xms2 ddr2 pc6400
seasonic m12 500w
thermaltake soprano
ac freezer7 pro
and a weak 80gb harddrive (IDE :( )
 
btw how do i keep ram speeds (Mhz) voltage and latency timings @ stock whilst raising the fsb cuz i dont wanna mess around with the ram till i know what im doing
 
yea get an ac freezer7 i got idle temps of 18C with it and thats with the standard TIM that came with it, so with AS5 will probably be like 15-16C

it was a compliment to the cpu. that cpu's overclock starting point should be at 3ghz. anything below is just plain silly and unheard of. :D
im new to this over clocking thingy!!! hence thread title MY 1ST OVERCLOCK anyways i cranked it up a lil can anyone tell me how im doing....(i will join the 3ghz club.......eventually)

another thing.... how i set ram dividers i can seem to find it in my bios

I have one of these CPU's coming in the post. What is the best cooling fan for it?

thanks
i got an ac freezer 7 on it for bangs per buck its the best cooler, although a zalman flower will give slightly better results, they cost £38 ex. vat and p&p
