Hi.

I just set up my system.

P5N-E SLI
E4300 Allendale
Corsair XMS2 DDR 5-5-5-12 800mhz
Sapphire x1950 Pro
Thermalright XP-120 Heatsink

I have my VCore locked in at 1.45 because of the severe Vdroops ive exeperienced... Ram locked in at 2.085v

I have everything disabled in the bios that is advised in the C2D Overclock Post, but most my questions lie in how to set up my ram / fsb settings.

Should I be using Linked or Unlinked? Considering my ram and chip.

Currently I'm at 1400mhz FSB Linked in Sync Mode to my ram putting it at 700mhz. CPU-Z Verifies all the infromation and it's running stable after 1hr in Orthos. Idle temps of 29c and Load Temps of 36c.

What FSB / Link or Unlink / What type of Link would you advise for my set up? I'd like to clock it further if possible but I want an expert opinion.

Thanks in Advance.

to be 1:1 Linked then u should be at 400fsb if not your ram may be underclocked. Better to go for 400fsb put your multipliyer at 8x. Set your PCI-e freq=100 and PCI=33.33 put your Vmch-1.55 and SB voltage to 1.6v. Put your ram to 4-4-4-12 and Vdimm 2.1 or 2.2 (above your Default Voltage) and see where it is stable. You will acheive 3.2ghz (i think your overclock would be successful 8) )...GL
