HI All, getting a a bit bored of my crappy system, (well its not bad - but i want to push it a bit further) any who ill start with he specs



any way i would like to OC the C2D and the RAM, can you guys give me any ideas of were i should start. i don't want to push it to far just enough to make a difference and live until i get 8800 and a q6600

i built this system last year when prices were expensive (thus the e6300, Foxconn p965 and the Corsair VS)
the 'ps' before 7600 stands for PS so i wont go to far but i'll give it a go if you give me a starting point, it next to a 120mm fan int he gigabyte chassis

And what about the Core voltages? thats were the lack of experience doesn't help.

thanks

PS: if i'm not pushing it immensely what are the chances of a 1:1 ratio with the ram and would the make a big difference

Unless you really push your system, a 'minor' overclock will net you nothing worth (or noticable) in terms of system performance.
