Over Clocking Time.

Now that I got a CPU cooler, I want to over clock. I was thinking of getting past 2GHz, and staying stable there.

I was talking to Kornowski, and he told me the basic outlines, but then said to double check everything.

Lock the PCI-e express @ 100Mhz
If you've got PCI stuff, lock @ 33Mhz (Again, I'd double check this!)

Just start increasing the FSB, like 20 a time, when you reach 300FSB, increase it by 5 each time.

Everytime you increase it, boot into Windows and check the temps.

I wouldn't raise the vCore at all! But! If you do find yourself wanting to go higher, you can bump it up a little, but expect your temps to rise!

It makes sense to me, but like he said, I am double checking this.

Thanks.

You can jump to 2GHz easily! Try going up in incraments of 10Mhz on the FSB until it's either unstable or won't boot. Then up the voltage by a very little bit and try again, keep upping the voltage as little as you can until it's stable then go ahead again with the FSB. But definately keep the PCI & PCI-E buses locked.
