ram and cpu

[stranky]

hello all!!
im fairly newish to overclocking but ive learnt quite a lot so far and wanna learn more!!!!, i was hoping to get some advice from people who know what their doing . I really only use my pc for games, but wasnt sure if its better to sync my fsb and ram and get a 1:1 or the tighest i can get, or just go for a high ram overclock? or change my cpu multiplier to get higher fsb? so if any one could help i would really appreciate it!!! thanks!!

atm my set up is:
e8400 @ 3.6gz (400x9) 1600mhz
gskill pc2 8500 @ 1280mhz
fsb 5:8 dram 5,7,7,20
mobo p35 ds3r

thanks for the reply, idleing about 44c, load 50c, from what ive read e4800 have doggey sensers so dont know how trust worthy they are lol! over the weekend ive been mucking about with my memory so been changing the timmings etc and found out what my ram was supposed to run at 5.5.5.15 @ 2.1v to give me 1066, but was just seeing how high i could get in hense the 1280 atm lol! but then that got me on to is it worth going that high and does it aid performance? but im guessing for gaming i want to have tight timings! but ill try what you said! thanks!
