More Information

Hello, I'm soon buying an e2160 and gigabyte p35-ds3l or possibly abit i-p35 and some A-Data Ram (its a budget build). I want to get it up to 3.2 on stock or settle for 3 if I must. I saw Tom's got it to 3.2 with 355 and a multiplier of 9. Will it create more heat or hurt stability if I do 400 and 8 multiplier and 1:1? This will be my first overclock, and system build, so I have read alot about this, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help!! :)

The multiplier is locked on the e2160 so you have to overclock by increasing the fsb. Just set the ram to 2x multiplier and it will be 1:1 still.
