Re: Help with overclocking

lol yeah my girlfriend hates it when i sit there at midnight tweaking "the beast". from what i've read and seen memory isnt too fantastic at overclocking and to be honest its nice but your not going to pull an extra 10fps in crysis by overclocking ram.
just checked the specs for your mb(ram runs at 1066 if cpu can run at 1333) and cpu(does run at 1333) if your ram is rated it should be at that speed. you will gain the most out of overclocking the cpu just keep a close eye on temps.

your cpu should be able to get to 3.6 with a small increase in voltage maybe even push it to 4 but overclocking is trial and error.
