quick oc question

[mrfiftyfour]

ok so im trying to overclock my e6400 on a p5b deluxe mobo ive followed this guide

http://http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=41

ive set the cpu settings only cos i dont wanna o/c anything else yet

i get my ratio of 8, so i raise my cpu frequency slightly and run a benchmark, i have prime. then if stable i raise more and run prime again and so on. when unstable i raise the cpu vcore voltage slightly.

am i wrong in any of this?

i have stock cooler on cpu but hear i can get decent clocks anyways

any input would be great

There is a good guide for overclocking here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17612922.
You might have more luck with a question in the Overclocking and cooling section.
Try to find someone with the same board and cpu, to give you some useful settings.
Have a look to see if there is a thread on your type of motherboard, this can be extemely useful.
Other than that, keep chipping away, have some fun, i'm sure you'll get some good results.

Your method is the correct one, just keep an eye on the temps in Intel TAT and you'll be fine.
