Hey all.

Im totaly new to overclocking but seein as I can do with what i have I gave it a go.

My PC specs are:

Asus P5W DH Deluxe Motherboard
Pentium 4 650 3.4GHz
2Gb DDR2 GEIL Black Dragon 1066MHz (2x1Gb)
128MB ATI Radeon X800GT
3x 250GB SATA2 Maxtor HDD's. 2 of which are RAID 0
Samsung DVD/RW
Thermaltake water cooling with 2 rads
Hiper 530w PSU
Antec 300 case
Windows XP Pro
Latest BIOS Upated

So far ive managed to get the CPU up to 4GHz by setting the FSB to 235mhz but any higher and the PC will not load windows. Vcore is set to 1.5v. PCI is locked to standard setting. RAM is set to 2.3v as the the recomended for this RAM is 2.2-2.4v. There are other settings but im not really sure what to do with them.

At current settings I get 36 Degres on full load using SIS Sandra and it all runs nicely but Id love to make it faster. Ive read that people have got a lot better results with air cooling so hopefully you guys could give me a few pointers

Cheers all
