OC'ing my pc

[ID10T]

Hi, please excuse if im a noob, cos i am actually one

I have these components

Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800
Corsair TwinX XMS2 4 x 512mb DDR-667
XFX Nvidia 7900 GTX Extreme
Asus P5N32- SLI SE Deluxe

I want to Overclock, but i dont know how to do it effectively...

I am more than probably going to get another Mobo, the Asus P5N-E SLi.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Read the Ocing core2duo guide sticky, basic things are go into your bios and turn the fsb a little then stability test it. As soon as it bsods or crashes turn it back down a bit then you have stable oc. Graphics card ocing use Rivatuner or ATItool? turn up core and memory til you see weird dots then turn it back down a bit stability test it then voila

That your board? nForce 4 still around? Your cpu is multiplier-unlocked. I'm afraid your ram & cpu cooler may hold you back. Sure the pc can o/c. i.e.

1066 / 4 = 266.5 x 11 = 2931.5 or 2.9ghz

2.9 is your stock speed. You can try any higher multi like:

266.5 x 13 = 3464.5 or 3.5ghz

If it fails to post or boot up anything, up the cpu voltage a notch & try again. Most everything can be at stock in bios. If you up the fsb & it won't work, you can up the nb voltage.
