I am trying to work out what my X2 4600 is capable of doing

I have got an Asus A8N SLi SE mobo and 2 gig of DDR3200 ram. I am working on the assumption that I can leave the multiplier alone and just ramp up the FSB a few notches and adjust vcore as needed to ensure stability.

It would be helpful if some of you more experienced overclockers could post your clocks and setting here e.g FSB/Dividers/Vcores for an X2 4600 so I have got a better idea of the ballpark I should be headed for before I blow something up.

I am doing this on air cooling only so I don't think I should be considering any vocres above 1.45 ? (or can I go higher ? )
 
I have gone into the bios and under the "jumperFree" configuration i get the following options

Overclock profile ( I set this to manual so I can make the changes my self)
CPU frequency - I have set this to 220 (going for a small OC first)
PCI express Clock - 100mhz
DDR voltage - choice of 2.6-2.9v or auto
CPU multiplier x 12
CPU voltage - I set to 1.45
PCI synchronization clock ? no idea what to do with this, I get 3 choices of Auto, To CPU or 33.3mhz - any help with this one would be welcome :)

Under dram configurations I have the following options

Timing mode - Manual
Memclock index value - currently set at 400mhz
CAS latency - 3
Min RAS active time - 8T
RAS to CAS delay - 3T
Row precharge time - 3T
Row cycle time - 11T
Row refresh cyc time - 14T
Read to write time 5T
Write recovery time - 3T
1T/2T Mem Timing - 2T
S/W DRAM over 4g remapping - enabled
H/W DRAM over 4g remapping - enabled

Could I just set the timing mode to manual and let it adjust itself to the CP frequencies ?
 
ok tried 220 x 12 @1.45v and it posted fine. I think processor might be running a little hot though as the idle temps are being reported as 44.

the hyperthreading is 1100 and it seems to be ok.

Will run a few tests to see how it performs
