Hello:
for some reason your hard drives are far hotter than they should be. They should be 30C - 34C at low load & max heat of 35-38C when pushed real hard like dvd encoding or music burning / gaming etc
you must first have you temps under super control before overclocking
as temps are going to go up >>>> i dont care who wants to agrue that point!
When your case temps go up >>>> your psu puts out less wattage and a whole slew of problems begin >>> hot video cards arent pretty either
judging by your current system temps you arent ready for OC'ing unless you want to play with a 3- 7% tid bit
give us your motherboard model off the everest report >>>> if you are lucky you may be able to use a verison of AI Booster with your board.
Ram: has alot to do with the success of overclocking: Right now I am using CAS 3 PC3200 good quality ram sticks >>> not awesome quality or perfromance modules >>>> I am unable to keep a VERY stead overclock of 15% with a P4 3.0 & a 3.2 prescott it will run about 85% of the time stable but freezes do occur
when I back off to a 10% overclock its very stable
I am guessing if I had the high perfromance memory installed like the corsair XMS or Crucial Ballstix with timings of 2-2-3-6 then I would be able to sustain 15% all the time.
however: I can't see any real noticible gain from the 10% to the 15% overclock >>>> so there is gonna be a struggle to pull the extra green outta my pocket to buy the high perfromance memory
