hey

i just started to oc my 3800 x2,

never done anything like this before so i read the guide and it saysput ** multiplier to 10 then up the fsb, thenup the multiplyer later

my multiplyer only goes up to 10 :p so should i drop to 5 then do the fsb step?

Edit i have TOLEDO core jus so u no, the top clockers all seem to be manchester bar the odd 1
 
ram is 1gb Corsair XMS3200C2PT

if i drop the voltage a little will that make a big diff to temps? i not gonna go any higher at this temp (52C load)

also should i try set memory to 1T?
