Okay... I've been reading a lot... and I've OC'ed most of my other PC's... but none of them ever cost me this much! So this time I'm gonna bite the bullet and push self righteousness aside and ask for help... I'm gonna post everything that Im pretty sure I know how to do... I just need some yes or no's... and maybe guidance if im way the f**k off...
k first part! As you can see in the sig.. thats my setup... I'm gonna run the X6800 OC'd to the amount that Tomshardware had theirs on air cooled... I'm thinking this is a stable amount of overclock...
Part a) I'm gonna bumped the multiplier up to x 11.0
This will allow for higher Mhz to near 3.66mhz and 1333 FSB... I might even bring it down to x 10 to call it safe... What do you guys think?? Then I need to increase the CPU input voltage from a stock 1.3 V to 1.48 V...
Part b) With the OCZ ram I know it can be stable at higher speeds... I then need to switch my ASUS board to "DDR2 - 889 MHz" on the DRAM freq.
and with my Ram running at that high of frequency I need to switch the timing over to 5-4-5-14 2.35V which is near 1112 DDR2... is this part correct? I have not overclocked ram before... yet I probably should on my other system lol...
Anandtech review of my memory
Too me this seems this seems all correct so far but I wanted to make sure that I wasnt doing something wrong to a very expensive chip!
The XFX 7950GX2 is super easy to OC and I'll just use coolbits or whatever works on the new cards to bump that up to some higher freqencies also... I'm not new to OC'n NVIDIA boards...
I'm sorry to look like a noob and be begging for help like this, but I've gathered all this info and I just wanted to make sure I'll be doing this right!
