Overclocking a GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 please help!!

[paq7512]

Ok so I am new to overclocking a cpu. But what i could tell you is I have a: GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3
Pentium D 940 3.2ghz stock
CORSAIR XMS2 512MB x4=2048
Zalman 9500 heatsink/fan
Asus x1900xt 512GPU
=====================
My question is what could I overclock too, to be on the safe side like what timings and so on. I want it faster, I have f10 bios. Or, should I just buy a E6600? I don't really know but I am sure someone does. Thanks in advance.

Much as I'd love to help you out to the same level I try to for most around here I'm finding myself writing the same reply around 20 times in the last few weeks now.

There are literally thousands of similar thread in this, and the overclocking section and i'm sure a quick search either manually or by using the search feature would give you your answer inside half an hour.

get a e400 and overclock, the D in ds3 means durable

My rule of thumb is... if you have to ask... you generally shouldn't be doing it...

I agree with Sweetpants on this, if you're asking this question then either you haven't done any research or your too lazy to read about it.

Here is the link Read this, but overclock at your own risk.

Great Thanks for the link. I did find that one, so I am not too lazy. But that one does not have my processor. I guess it should work then. Thanks.
