noob questions about cpu

[Deleted member 61728]

Hi i have some noob questions about cpu's ?


1.If cooling the cpu by w/c do you still use the artic silver line method for the quad core or a differnt (non lapped) ?

2.What does pci voltage mean in bios does this need changing when o/c a lot ?

3.Will good quality pc2 6400 dual channel ram good for o/c to say 420fsb + 1:1 ?

4.If i have saved a past o/c in the bios if i go back to stock for what ever can i go from stock back to that o/c setting or is it to much of a jump ?

thanks

1. Still use the line method if it isn't flat

2. Shouldn't need to change PCI (PCI-E?) voltage at all to overclock, though set PCI-E to 101MHz to be safe

3. Decent 6400 should be ok for 420MHz (Ballistix is cracking RAM)

4. Should work fine just reloading old settings.
