I am making an overclocking guide for advance Ocers and would like to hear opinions based on this preface:
Preface
When overclocking an Intel Core 2 Dual CPU, we are overclocking the motherboard, RAM, and CPU. Changing all those settings at once is a poor way to overclock, since an error or BSOD due to the overclock will leave you clueless on which of the component is unstable. This may be a gruesome task to figure out and solve.
The most common overclocking failures are due to RAM instability. Thus, when running Windows with unstable ram, BSODs are likely to happen. Unstable RAM also effects Prime95/Orthos stress testing, whether it be small FFTs or blend since the program itself is running in Windows. Knowing this, it is logical to get the RAM stable first before proceeding any further.
When the RAM is deemed stable, we will move on to the motherboard, adjusting the voltage to get that FSB perfectly stable. Then we finally overclock the CPU to the desired speed. By doing this, we can focus on each component of the system one by one, and not all at once. This guide for advanced overclockers will allow you to do so, allowing the most precise overclock.
If this is widely welcomed, I will put forth all my effort into creating this guide.
Please give me your opinion!
