DMI Total / Free Memory Sockets 4 / 0..i These settings are from a completley inexperianced novice I would like to ask for some help and probbably some deserving critisism. I have just finished reading the post for new overclockers, I can see now I still have a long way to go. I am running good with my settings but i accually have know idea what I am doing and if they are dangerously wrong. I apreciate some critisism, advice, and some settings I ight try would be awsome If I go any higher with this processor I will lock up or go in sfae mode to allow bios change. I have never stepped above 2.9 and always maintained good temps I am using water and my PSU is a 1200 coolmax..Thank you Joe
