Hi all, I'm pretty much of a noob when it comes to overclocking but I have a e4300 which is currently running at 1.8Ghz (as shown on screenshoot) but I would like to overclock it to 2.4Ghz. I've read the manual on how to overclock on my motherboard (Gigabyte 965P-DS3P) but I don't understand how to apply memory timing and the system memory multiplier according to the overclocking that I want to do.

These are the specs acording to CPU-Z:

This shows the general specs of the CPU

Memory info...

Memory type... Both of the sticks that I'm using are identical

System temperature according to SpeedFan 4.32. Is the temperature appropiate for a 1.8? and how much would I expect when overclocked to 2.4?

Can anybody tell me the best memory timing and system memory multiplier that I could apply for a good overclocking to 2.4 ghz?

Thanks everybody!
 
Timing is usually a matter of experimentation. You get the overclock you want with slack timings then when you're satisfied you tighten them up until they'll go no tighter.

For 2.4 GHz you'll run a 267 MHz FSB. What happens when you try to boot at this FSB setting?
 
I dont know what the bios looks like for your motherboard but you need to find the current fsb setting will be 200 as to get 1800mhz it is 200x9 and change this to 270 to get 2.4ghz (270x9 = 2430) you should be able to change it to 300 without a problem to get 2.7ghz easily read this http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17610180 theres a guide on overclocking ds3 motherboard you will find all you need to know in there as might need to change voltage settings aswell to get it stable
 
If like me your ds3 rev 3.3 is recent it's probably the f9 bios
i was unable to overclock much at all with said bios i updated
it to f10 bios and everything seems fine now.
Read the official ds3 owners thread for everything you need to know.

Clocking
1. Make sure that you have the latest chipset drivers and flash the board to the most recent bios version
2. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
4. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
5. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
6. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. The Geil I have is spec'd as 2.1v so I have mine set to +0.3v
7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
9. Set the VCORE to 1.45v - Please be aware that this will increase temps!
10. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
11. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2x"
12. You're set to go, just increase the System bus Frequency to Overclock
13. I would recommend that you use Intels TAT to monitor temps
