Hey I was board so I though I would overclock my cpu. I went into bios and used the Asus AI overclocker set it to 30%
My cpu (E6600 2.4 GHz) runs at 3.11 ghz. My Rated FSB is 1385.7 MHz Bus speed 346.4 MHZ
The AI overclocker has changed the CPU/FSB speed automaticly but do I need to change my Ram speed? or will my pc run stable? the way it is? How do I test the stablity?

My pc specs:
CPU: Core duo 2.4(o.c 3.11) GPU: 8800 GTS 640 MB
Ram:Corsair 4 GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4
Mother Board: Asus P5W64-WS Pro Intel 975X
PSU:Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU
Hard Drive: Raptor 150 Gb, Two Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Ca

Thanks.

I would go in and overclock manually....those auto ones completely overvolt the cpu and create unneeded heat.

Give it a try yourself (guide at the top) its fun
