o/clocking intel setup

[muppet]

hi

its my first intel setup for a long time (p3 450) and id like to o/clock my machine to within an inch of its life . do i need to lock anything down like on my amd system e.g pci e/pci or do i just up the fsb and see how far she goes

cheers

Pushing hardware to an inch of its life isnt my specialty

but a 8800 and a 320w PSU....+ overclocking, thats gotta hurt

Yes it's the same as agp, just set it to 33.33 and forget about it.

Though if you didn't already know that, and you want to oc your rig within an

inch of its life, then I'd suggest first reading up on a few oc'ing guides for your

paticular mobo.

I don't know where they'd be for that board but you should set your PCI-e clock at 100 MHz. It certainly won't hurt and it might help a bit.

Beyond that be sure your memory is getting as much power as it wants as many boards these days undervolt memory by default.
