Hey Guys,

I'm kinda new to this overclocking stuff and I just built my first rig.

Here's my setup:


CPU: E8500 C2d 3.16ghz (I wish to OC this to 3.5-3.8)

Heatsink: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler

Mobo: GA EP35C-DS3R

RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
(Do I need to adjust this too?)


Now, I'm not quiet sure what setup I should use to get this stable on my pc. Like vcore, FSB, etc.

Can someone please help me out with a good setup I could use?

Thanks!
