Goal is to get maximum OC with this hardware. From what I've been reading 3.6Ghz is within reason. Now my question is what settings should I adjust to get maximum and boarderline safe overclocking. My knowledge on overclocking is Intermediate at best. I've had my PC set at 3.0 Ghz for a while now, but I want to see if I can push some more out of it.
This is what I know:
450 FSB with a 1.424 voltage will get me 3.6Ghz per Tomshardware testing.
Now my question is what other settings should I adjust in my bios. Memory overclocking is where my knowledge is very limited, like timing, voltage, and speeds. Also do I need to change any bridge speeds? What should I adjusting in addition to the FSB and Voltage for the CPU?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I plan on running Prime95 to test once I have everything adjusted that I need to.
