Hey.
I have in mind to Overclock my CPU.
My setup is as follows:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550@2.83Ghz (Yorkfield, Socket 775 LGA)
With Freezer Xstreme cooling.
Mainboard: Gigabyte P35-DS4
8GB DDR2
Grapichs: AMD Radeon HD 6970 2048MB GDDR5
GX 750W Cooler Master
This is the first time I do this, and looked a little bit on youtube and google, but before I 'm going to do this, I'll just ask some questions here.
What should I look out for and how much should I increase the CPU?
I got this computer from a friend for free (I'm used to Mac) I'm not even sure if its bad or great ...

anyway, the easiest thing you can do is overclock to 3.4 ghz, by changing the fsb to 400 mhz, and definitely make sure to set memory ratio to 2:1 so that the bios shows 800 800 (before-after, apparently), you do not want to overclock ram. Set the pci bus to fixed 100 mhz. As for the cpu voltage, i gave mine only 1.22 V and runs perfectly stable on 3.4 ghz. You can get more, but thats way too tricky to explain and is not worth it due to need to increase voltages too much.
