My First Overclock

[ScottyCFC]

Hi all,

Im new to overclocking, so I want your opinion on what I got so far.
E6750 (2.66 stock)
P35 Neo Motherboard
PC6400 800Mhz (2GHz)

CPU set to 400 (3.2 GHz)
So I have set the ratio 1:1 (RAM at 800Mhz)
5-5-5-12

Is this OK? or is there a better balance?

Thanks in advance.

Scotty

Seems fine. You could probably lower the timings to 4-4-4-12 but other than that if you're satisfied with the OC, it's all good.

Nah, I tried 5-4-4-12, and it wouldn't boot.

I am having a problem though, when I play a game longer than 5 minutes, the system locks up.
Games tried:
Crysis
Mame
GTA San Andreas

I thought it might have been the temp, but its under 40C

Any ideas?
