possible components:
-Asus P5N-E 650i motherboard, or a Gigabyte P965 DS3
-Core 2 E6600
-DDR2 800 Dual Channel kit
-Good cooling(ex: tuniq tower)
(these are just general components I'm throwing out to go along with overclocking numbers)
Would this overclock have a chance at working...
-an FSB overclock from 200 to 400 MHz
-memory in a 1:1 ratio which would let it reach roughly the 800mhz rating
-the core will be roughly 3.6 GHz (9x stock E6600 multiplier)
I mean, it all seems easier said then done, but am I hitting any roadblocks or limitations with this general setup?
And, are there any other recommendations and ideas that could be thrown out other than this? Maybe higher FSB, higher rated memory, lower multiplier...
I'm going to be building a new computer REALLY soon, and plan on doing some overclocking, so I'm looking for all the insight I can get.
This is going to be a computer that is going to be on roughly 24/7 (might turn off once and a while) so I'm looking for stability here.
-For another side question, considering this computer is going to be used a lot, 3.6 GHz might be asking too much to have constantly. When I don't need all that power, can these motherboards unlock and lower the multiplier to maybe 8x? (which would make it 3.2 ghz)
