Hi,

I'm new to overclocking and i tried it myself and i got a decent result. I still have some questions:

- I tried oc'ing using the AMD Overdrive Utility. I got it to 3,147 Ghz on 1,36 volts 48C full load at stock cooling (although not completely stable). Should i keep using the AMD overdrive utility or is it best to use the BIOS?

- Can i overclock my CPU and still have Cool&Quiet enabled?

- Whats the best way to overclock? I overclocked by raising the multiplier (since i have a black edition CPU) from 13,5 to 15,5 and the Hypertransport ref clock from 200 to 203).

- Is it best to keep the DRAM:FSB frequency to 1:1, i have 1066Mhz RAM?

- I have a cooler master elite 331 midtower case, which CPU cooler do you recommend?

Hardware:
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 7750
GPU: MSI Radeon 3850 OC
RAM: 2X 1GB OCZ Fatal1ty 1066
MoBo: ASUS M3A78 PRO
PSU: OCZ 400W ModXstream Pro
Case: Cooler Master Elite 331 with 2X 120 mm fan
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 250GB

OS:
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit

Thanks,
Niels
