Safe Overclock for my set-up?

EagleOC · 23 Dec 2007 at 21:50

Can someone give me an idea of what settings I need to change in order to (safely) overclock by machine?

Yes, I've read the theory and I'm still none the wiser. :confused:

Just about to install Call of Duty 4 and I want the best possible performance out of it!

• Q6600 G0 (2.4 stock)
• P5K-E WiFi
• 4Gb Corsair 6400
• BFG OC2 8800GT
• Corsair 620W PSU
• Vista 64 Ultimate

depends on your definition of "safe"

'Safe' to me just means faster with no danger of killing anything.

...assumming your Ram is rated @ 800mhz

Sorry, it's 6400MHz. Will those settings still apply?

[edit] how the f* do you get 4GHz on air! Nah, don't tell me.

its 6400 RAM which should be 800mhz rated so yes

Lol. Of course!

Thanks for the tips.

Ok, had a dig around and...

FSB = 400 (changed ok)
CPU Mult to 8 (can't find this setting - are Intel's locked?)
VCore to 1.35v (is this 'CPU voltage'?)

My FSB is currently 1066MHz... :confused:

On that machine at stock you could run CoD4 on max settings with 4x AA / 16x AF and not get any slowdowns

[...much later]

You're not wrong there! Wow! :eek:
