Hi
I just got a new CPU Cooler and my temps is between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius while playing games, and that's pretty good, isn't it?

I will overclock it to 3.0 Ghz and i know i need to set the FSB to 333, and the multiplier shall be 9. 333x9= 2997Mhz.
But I don't know what else I need to do to get it work. What shall i set the Voltage to if i clock it to 3.0 Ghz?
And what shall i set the DRAM Frequency to if i have 4GB of 667Mhz ram?
What else is necessary to do?

Any help would be great! Thanks.

It should hit 3 GHz on stock voltage.

But go slowly, keep this in mind.

As far as I know most RAM Frequencies is dynamic and regulates on their own.

Heh, I'm gonna comment here so I can see the answers.. as I have a similar processor and I want to go beyond 3.0 GHz. :) 

I was quite reckless, though. I didn't go by it incrementally. I just set the FSB straight to 333 MHz. :lol:  I'm such a n00b.

So, it's all right to leave Voltage on auto and see if it runs stable, if not i can change it to 1.2625 or something. But what about PCI Express Frequency, PCI Clock Synchronization and Memory Voltage, do i need to adjust some of those settings?

PCI Express Frequency is in most cases your Graphics Card core clock speed. If you want to overclock your GPU too then you can increase it by 100 MHz (200 MHz Graphics Memory).

I suggest not to increase DRAM frequency and let it stay on dynamic. In most cases you should not need to increase VCORE but if needed, raise it slightly so you get a stable overclock. It more depends on your chip.
