Overclocking for video encoding

Hi,

I want to set my system up with the best overclock for video encoding in Adobe Premiere elements 3.0.

E6300 - DS3 v1.0 - PC-6400 Ballistix

Should I be just going for the highest possible CPU level (~3.5GHz is my best using 5-5-5-15) or would it be more benefit sticking with 4-4-4-12 timings and pushing those as far as I can go? Or as an alternative drop the multiplier to 6 and push for a max FSB?

Which is more important in video encoding? CPU or FSB or timings?

What do you mean by bottlenecks?

Ah ok,

I think at 3.5Ghz on a E6300 is good going, so I doubt bottlenecks are in play

The restricting factor will be the 7x multiplier

2.2v

What do you suggest for volts and timings? Or should i try and push the CPU more?

Vcore is currently 1.45

Idle is low 40's

Load is ~61

ok, got it up to 510 FSB and it runs all benchmarks (PCMarks, 3dMark06) fine, but lasts about 4 secs on a blend test on orthos at priority 1

Where now?
